Today, while reading out loud in front of my entire class and teacher, I learned that I can't pronounce the word 'success'. It came out as 'sex', and when I tried to correct myself more slowly (multiple times), it came out 'sexsex'. FML

Today, my French teacher set up a role-play scenario to act out in front of the class. During one of my lines, I mispronounced a phrase and called my teacher sexy. FML

Today, in class, I volunteered to read a poem out loud. I accidentally said "circumcised" instead of "circumscribed". I don't think I"ll be volunteering to read anything more. FML

Today, it was the last day of school, and I said goodbye to one of my students. She then told me how to correctly pronounce her name. I'd said it wrong all year. FML

Today, I accidentally farted in the middle of class. Thinking I got away with it, I just kept doing my work until some kid across the room says, "I could have done better." FML

Today, while thinking about something cringe I did, I accidentally said, "Oh fuck!" aloud during someone's speech. The room besides me and the speaker was otherwise quiet. FML

Today, I learned that I've been saying a word wrong my whole life and all my friends have been too polite to correct me, when I found out that "Segue" and "Segway" are pronounced the same. FML

I had a similar situation when I learned I pronounce Massachusetts wrong. Never had to say it much, but when I do it's massive two sh!ts. Sorry people from there!

Had the same problem in an AP world history presentation with "sects". Tried to emphasize what I was saying numerous times before just giving up and wallowing in my shame. They knew what I meant, so I'm sure everyone knew what you meant too. We're human!

You could have asked your teacher for the right pronunciation :) Either way, it is pronunced as "suck sess". Sess like the end of "Prin-cess" :)
