We love a site called RegretTheError.com. It highlights corrections and retractions from newspapers, magazines and websites from around the world.
Like this one, for example, from the digital pages of Salon.com:
The June 16 Broadsheet post “Study: Fat Women Starved of Sex” originally stated that “obese men had just as much nookie as average guys.” It should have read, “obese men were just as likely to have had a sexual partner in the last 12 months as average guys.”
Salon was embarrassed for having used the word nookie. But we suspect the embarrassment wasn’t for using an inappropriate word, but for using one that’s been tragically unhip since about 1973.
NOTE: The phrase “tragically unhip” has been tragically unhip since about 1986. Please accept our apologies.
