Years ago, my sons and I visited the cinema. Traditionally we always got some snacks and drinks, and my youngest son (ten at the time) accidentally referred to popcorn as cockporn.
I haven’t been able to order a bucket of popcorn in the cinema since, as at once I started to copy this error. Now I am even afraid to mention cockpo… popcorn in any public situation.
Worse yet, I had a marketing colleague who continuously mixed up YouTube with an infamous porn channel with a very similar name. To bypass this embarrassment, he started posting all marketing videos to Vimeo.
