Most of us, at one point or another, have unintentionally said another word in place of the actual word we wanted to use. This is not the case of wanting to say something to someone and ending up saying another thing. 

This is when you want to say a word but another word falls out instead, which makes the whole sentence awkward. Well, I guess both cases have a similarity since they just make you look stupid once you realize what fell out of your mouth.

It can be called a malapropism or malaprop. This is the mixed-up use of an inaccurate word in place of a word with a similar sound, resulting in an unreasonable, yet amusing, expression.

The funny thing is that you start looking for ways to redeem yourself, and the person might understand or not. Either way, you know you’ve messed up big time. 

This is what u/bac0ndip experienced, and he brought it to the reddit community. According to u/bac0ndip, his colleague was about to leave, and his intention was to say "go spread your wings," but my, oh my, another word came out entirely. 

But luckily for him, his colleague understood when he explained himself, and she laughed it off. But to him, it was still an embarrassing situation. I’ll drop my mic at this juncture and let you read directly from the horse’s mouth.

Polish up a resumé as what? A shoe?

The second comment though...lol

I do hope the homeless guy didn't hear that

Or he might be like "but you don't even know me..."

And the whole stares in the same direction...

Exactly, why would you want to say "I'm complicated?"

Well, the purchase was made which is what's important

It is really funny though...
