20 mins ago in a work teams meeting my line manager said '' I stand corrected'' and I jumped straight in with ''in your orthopaedic shoes''...a silence came about and I had to explain it.

Not sure that's a faux pas is it? Just someone who hasn't heard a really old quip

The silence was because it wasn't very funny, mate, not because they didn't understand.

Bizarre.

I remember calling a teacher Mam when I was about 8 and was absolutely gutted. Just stood there silent.

I was at a wedding and met a lass my wife works with, her husband and both of their two little kids.
It's important at this point to say that they were and Afro Caribbean family.
Any hooooo, we were chatting away having a few laughs when their little boy (about 2) was playing and fell over next to me.
I jumped up and picked him up as he gave himself quite a shock, and I said .....
"Come here ya little monkey, what have you done there"
It took a couple of second to twig (it's something I've said to my kids for years) and I thought SHIT, what the F**** have you just said.
I spun around to my wife and this couple just staring, open jawed at me.
I started to try and save myself, explaining that I didn't mean it like that etc, I was going purple with embarrassment.
All three of them just burst out laughing at the sight of me in absolute panic.

Early in our relationship I introduced my wife to someone and said my ex girlfriends name. I still have one testicle

I was drinking in pubs in newcastle on derby day. The barcodes chanted 'n and e and w c, a and s, t l e. I boomed out, Newcastle United, F**K OFF! at the appropriate time. Thankfully someone thought I was just being a tad aggressive at saying excuse me and moved aside! Could have been much worse

That's not a faux pas It's just awful judgement.

Aye, laughter can be a good way of covering up embarrassment.
