Dr Johnsons' post-watershed word of the day, part deux

Dr Johnsons' post-watershed word of the day

Hey gang! Ready to have some naughty fun with verbal misinterpretation?

Naughty fun, you say? Is this going to get me laid?

Aye! If you plan on courting a lady as fond of lexical shenanigans as we!

So, no then.

Don't be so sure! This one is naughty and certainly snigger-worthy. Maybe you can bring it up as a conversation starter at the Christmas party?

**scoff** yeah, got me some lexical misdirection. Bitches love lexical misdirection. 

Indeed they do, my friend! Context is everything with this one. If a colleague asks you for a rubber during a quarterly financial meeting, then he's made a mistake in his pencil calculations. If a colleague asks you for a rubber at the Christmas party, then he's about to make a mistake in the stationery cupboard with Deborah the office bike. Bahahaha!!

 

Worst. Wingman. Ever.
