A mistake I once made: instead of お城（おしろ）I said お尻（おしり） (lemmy.world)

In the car on the way to a castle (お城) with my host family's kids, no less. They thought it was hilarious that I was excited to see the お尻 (butt).

Any other gaffes out there? 🙃

I was once wondering around a neighborhood in Tokyo and passed by a group of friends who were saying goodbye to each other. I heard one of them say "お疲れヤマ". I stopped, wondering if it was some strange kind of slang or regional variation, but she then started laughing and said "お疲れマウンテン".
