Yubon's autocorrect on the Plexus thread reminded me about a text I sent yesterday. My DS turned 14 and I texted him to not get on the bus because I would be there at the end of the day to take him to get Menchies (frozen yogurt) except autocorrect told him I was taking him to get Man hoes. We cracked up over that when he got in the car and asked why I thought he would want a man ho for his birthday.
Got any fun/strange autocorrects to share?

BROCKLEY instead of broccoli. Who the F*** is BROCKLEY?
My sister's daughter named JOSI is constantly being autocorrected to Joe C, despite sis not knowing anyone named Joe C.

I have a friend, male, much younger than me. We are both married and live on different coasts. However, we share a hobby. We collect DIsney pins. We have visited each other's coasts and our families know each other. Once, when I was going to visit California, I sent him a text and asked him if he was going to be at Pin Traders (where people meet to trade pins with each other). It autocorrected to "are you going to be PENETRATED"!
I was mortified!

Why yes indeed. Just the other day I texted a friend that I was too ashamed to admit (although I guess I am) on the dinner thread that I had almost a full bag of Stacy's chips and roasted garlic HUMMUS for dinner...except Mr. Autocorrect apparently thinks that I am a cannibal because he told my friend that I had Stacy's Chips and roasted garlic HUMANS. Made me laugh for sure-particularly since not only am I not a cannibal, I also prefer to eat mostly vegetarian.  Mr. Autocorrect doesn't know me very well at all. |

When DH and I go somewhere he usually heads down to the car before me and waits (he thinks that will make me hurry up lol yeah right!) and then he starts blowing up my phone texting "hurry up" "are you coming?" Well I'm always like "GIVE ME A SEC!" however it never fails it always sends out "GIVE ME SEX"
He's so use to it now he just ignores it lol

I know I posted this a few weeks ago, but DD was in Los Angeles and decided to make a stop on the way home so knew the route she had originally planned wasn't the best. Because we are The Californians, she texted me asking how I thought she should get there. It was kind of convoluted, so I texted back "just let your GPS guide you."
When my atheist DD responded "haha very funny" I realized it was autocorrected to "just let your God guide you".

My daughter is in the ski club at college. We have had warmer temperatures than usual, on one day of a scheduled ski meet the temperature was in the 50's. So I was teasing her and asked "Can you ski on grass?" and Siri typed "Can you skin graft?"

That wood be gray - instead of that would be great. It has become an inside joke now.

My iPad constantly tries to correct what I write in Englsh to a Norwegian word...I'm pretty sure there are some weird words in some of my posts both here and on Facebook. (It changed "correct" to "forrett" which means appetizer).

The other day I was texting with my son, and he said "Don haft iciest for all week". Usually I can figure it out but this was - "Don had tickets for all week". As clear as mud.  |

I absolutely love these.
My favorite is when I type: Okay Dokey it always comes up as Okay Donkey. Cracks me up that I accidentally called someone a donkey!!

DD and I were texting about what a pain her dad's dog is because he was being a pain to house train. So DD texted that dad needed to get the dog fixed. Unfortunately, autocorrect wrote "Dad needs to get his dong fixed".   When I quit laughing and pointed that out to her, she nearly died from humiliation and made me swear to never tell her dad! |

I once texted by oldest son "Do you want pizza?" It got auto corrected to "Donkey pizza?" DS wanted to know if it tasted like ass. Another DH texted me while I was at the grocery store telling me that he needed air freshener. It corrects freshener to fellatio! I had no idea what aisle that was on! LOL |

My friend and I were making plans to get together. She asked what I wanted to do. I suggested "Lunch and pedis?"
Except that autocorrect turned "pedis" into "penis."
We try to get together for lunch and penis at least once a month.

I was replying to a friend in a text when she asked me what I had purchased at Tuesday Morning. It took the beginning of a text I had written six weeks prior and the end of the text I had just typed. She was confused. What I could see was what I had typed. She sent me a copy of her text and it was a combination of both texts. Apparently we were drinking butter beer and people watching in Tuesday Morning. That was weird.

My auto corrects are really boring. I always thought half the ones I see on the internet are made up, because none of my phones have ever autocorrected to something funny or rude.
I just tried typing in some of the examples given here. Most of them didn't autocorrect. These ones did:
Menchies - Mencia
Josi - Jodi
diggety dog - digger dog
gps - GPS
Jayden - Hayden
pedis - Pedia
See? Boring!

My phone doesn't correct "pedis" at all, but does suggest pediatrician. I wonder if one's location accounts for the difference in corrections and suggestions. "Pedia" isn't offered as a correction or suggestion in my phone. |

I normally have it set to UK if Aus isn't an option because our spelling is more similar to UK than US. I don't even know what "Pedia" is!! |

Smart phones are not very smart - you would think it would know some of the words I use often and NOT auto-correct them!

We used to own a coffee roasting company. My mom was coming over to visit one day and was going to bring me some fresh roasted coffee. She was naming off the flavors she had just roasted and instead of caramel nut fudge...she sent me caramel butt fudge. She didn't realize it until I sent back that she could keep the butt fudge for herself and I'd take the pumpkin spice We still crack up about it. |

I was going to an estate sale to get an antique children's tin refrigerator and my husband texted me and asked if I was able to get it and I meant to text yes but I had to pay a lot for it, but somehow I sent I had to lay a lot for it. He texted back I must have really wanted that refrigerator!
