Slip of tongue? I don't think so.

When you are in school, you are free to do whatever you want as long as the teachers are not watching. When I was in the eleventh grade, I had a friend who was in love with a certain someone from the other class. Now like all other people who are smitten by someone from the opposite sex, Ed (thought I'd give him a name) here never told the girl how he felt. Weeks went by, then months.

One fine afternoon Ed got into a little altercation with a fellow classmate because the latter called his love interest certain 'names'. Now the abuser, we shall call him Mr. A, was a really healthy person. I mean he was strong. And Ed was the kind of guy who would whack you in the head and then run as far and fast as he could. So when the fight started to heat up, most of us went over to pacify Mr.A by holding him back from ripping Ed apart. When Ed realized he had the advantage of the situation, he vented out his anger with these following words: "Hey! You shut up! You go "fruit" me man!" This was by far the greatest comeback statement I had ever heard from a person. Not only was this statement grammatically wrong but the look of confidence on Ed's face was priceless and as always he ran and we just rolled on the floor laughing. Mr.A was laughing too.

Well a lot of us assumed that it was a slip of tongue but then I managed to irk Ed enough one day and he retorted with the statement: "You don't lose my temper okay?!!!". Well I wanted to crack a nice sarcastic comment but I realized it would not do justice to the words that were just uttered.

So tell me, slip of tongue? I don't think so.
