I was about 12 years old.It was Christmas.
The whole family were gathered around after stuffing ourselves with too much turkey and we decided to play some games. Pictionary was all the rage back then so we split into teams and started to have much hilarity.
Everything was going fine until the point where my cousin was drawing something that looked like an eskimo and an igloo. Nobody on our team could guess what he was drawing and then it hit me - the right word was on the tip of my tongue. I strained and strained. I shouted "I know it, I know it". People were getting excited, looking at me trying to just get it out. My cousin was going frantic.
Then it hit - I remembered the word an shouted it out at the top of my voice!
DILDO!
Everything stopped. People stared. I suddenly realised what I'd done.
Needless to say, that wasn't the correct word.
