Accidental innuendoFreddy Woo writes, "A woman I used to work with once walked into a car workshop to get her windscreen replaced, and uttered the immortal line, "Have you seen the size of my crack?"
What innuendos have you accidentally walked into? Are you a 1970s Carry On film character?
Extra points for the inappropriateness of the context

Agreed.Apparently "mimsy" is slang peculiar to this website. Shame, really- it's a great term.
And yes, I thought of it instantly when I first heard of this film.

I still remember the double-take I didwhen I first saw this advertised on the side of a London bus.
I stood there in shock for about ten seconds thinking "Surely they must realise?" I know firmly believe that someone on the scriptwriting comittee was a secret b3tan, who is even now chuckling away to himself.
