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?

Pipe DreamI had always understood a pipe dream as something that would get achieved eventually, as opposed to it's true meaning: a fantastic and vain dream.
So I'm getting a lift down to Uni with parent's friends, who are lovely people but very high in the social order and very, very proud.
We are talking about him buying property up North, doing it up and selling it for lots of money. I say "Yes, it's always good having a pipe dream." to be followed by a long period of silence, which I thought unusual as we had been getting on great.
The onohour came when I got home and thought I should check I had the right definition of pipe dream. Needless to say I haven't been offered a lift since.
