The OnosecondWired magazine once defined the 'onosecond' as the time between hitting 'send' and realising that you really didn't mean to send that to your granny.
What inappropriate email/text/photo have you sent to wrong people? Are they speaking to you any more?

Ithought the onosecond was the shortest measurable discrete unit of time, i.e. the amount of time you can listen to Yoko fucking Ono before you start wishing you weren't listening to Yoko fucking Ono.
My personal worst onosecond was managing to describe an immediate superior as "a void in the personality continuum" in an e-mail which I promptly sent straight to him - and which he still managed to open before I immediately hit "unsend".
And now I'm waiting to find out if I've got an interview for a job that would put me under him again after almost eight years.
