Slip o' the tongue
I was talking with a group of men today in our community and yes, I was kilted. Several asked about my kilt and available accessories. One man asked about flat caps with kilts. I mentioned the discussions that can be found at XTMS, but told them to each his own. Then it happened....
WHen addressing why a cap at all, I said, "Some of us are phallically challenged." I meant to say follicly challenged. It got a loud burst of laughter in our meeting and a woman in the back said, "that's me!"
Hopefully I am not going to be banned from Weight Watchers meetings in our community.

Probably some of them from weight watchers don't even know they are challenged. If you follow my drift.

Isn't that what's called a "Freudian Slip"?

That's the trouble with euphemistic phrases!

I've always been curious, what color was Freud's slip?

And the ladie's comeback would be a Freudian Slap!

I've always had a suspicion that there was more to flat caps.
