Nice. XD FYL, but it's not your fault, we all mess up sometimes like that. ;P

haha lol!!!

Priceless. But depending on the case, there is a small possibility, you were still correct.

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa x]

Lol, aw man! That frigging sucks man! What'd they say? :(

Ahahaahahaa, thats just made my day.

nice job *high five*

ROTFLMMFAO

very nice! They probably deserved it!

LOLOL
this made my day

a swing and a miss! lol i bet that was priceless

It happens to the best of us...

I would have called them a whore. But prostitute is ok.

I hope you didn't lost your license.

That one's too good .. you should make it a theme for all your cases from here out

I would say your statement was accurate. ;)

did it get a chuckle from the Court? funny, embarrassing, but not really FYL..

we all fumble with words from time to time..... no worries!!!

At least you spoke no lies.

hahaha thats funny!!

# 3, 16, 19 are right

awesome! especially if the prosecutor was female

loves it!!

haha! its ok, you live.

but that we be win if they prosecutor was a female.

it'll be funny one day, haha, for you too I meen.

Are you a defense attorney and is your name... Phoenix Wright? XD Just kidding.

And s/he starts off with a bang!

Don't worry--you'll still be telling this story 20-30 years from now when you're rich and successful, only then it will be funny to you, too.

ROTFLMMFAO:
Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Moms Fucking Ass Off

? ;)

Mughahaha sounds likel aw school $$$$$ well spent or perhaps a freudian slip?

Perfect opener! Did you make them an offer they'll never forget?

LOL

P.i.m.p

Whoops! Funny none the less! I hope that it didn't turn out to be too big of a deal for you!

Thats pretty funny..

Hahaha guess u have hoes on your mind.

In a mock trial we had in high school, I did the exact same thing.

Lol, that sucks, but I can't blame you. I can imagine that being a rather nerve-wracking job.

I agree with 19, you spoke no lies. I would tell that story to everyone if it happened to me. You made my day. :)

Ahahah! Where can I hire you?

Congrats on being a lawer!!

haha, omg. this made me lol.

Freudian slip perhaps? its okay, it happens to the best of us! =/

OMG LOL! That made my day hands down.

If you are doing criminal defense then we'd call that a very ironic slip.

looks like everyone in the courtroom now knows what your favorite hobby is.

oh my god.! my bff andrea who is studying to be a lawyer will probably do that too! she always messes up words.. one day she said instead of social worker... sexual worker haha ! :D

Aww hahah that really sucks, I'm sorry!

OBJECTION! My private affairs shouldn't be scrutinized here today.

HAHAHH that's hilarious
but you were probably nervous so it doesn't matter.

OP: You win!

Thanks for the laughs :)

For the win! I'll bet the courtroom had a good chuckle. Way to break the ice.

Freudian slip anyone?

OBJECTION!
You suck. xD

Freud would have something to say about that.

Haha! That sux! I hope u didn't lose ur liscense for that.

awesome. freudian slip!

Niice. You'll be remembered for that

It's okay.... Now you will always remember your first day and laugh about it.

lol @ at everyone saying good job.

#26, #49, #54: Win.

I doubt the OP was disbarred for it, though, especially if the OP corrected him/herself afterward.

as a future attorney i now have one more thing to dread LOL

To the people saying they hope the OP doesnt loose his/her liscense- why on earth would they loose their ability to practice law for saying the word prostitution? Even if they were directly calling someone a prostitute (which i suppose they kind of were) how is that an offence worthy of loosing their liscense?

yeah

Haha, nice one!

At least it's just your first day, when people pretty much expect you to be flustered. You're not the first person to make that mistake - I have a friend who did the same thing, although it was in a classroom mock-trial presentation, and I'm sure others have done it in court like you did.

Did you graduate from a state school? or worse an auxiliary state school?

You deserved it if so.

I used to do that a lot. When I was a kid.

#68...

That should have been drilled out of him after 3 years of mock courts and internships at firms. The only reasonable alternative is he is one of the 800,000 attorneys that could not get any other real job, chose the field, and are now stuck doing traffic court/public defense/criminal prosecution/DWIs.

He completely deserved it... Seethe your mediocrity into other fields please.

I busted out laughing at this!

Wow, that does suck. I am sure it was obvious before you made the slip that you were nervous. The two words are pretty close.

Someday, probably soon, you will be able to look back at this and laugh.

I did that twice for mock trial in high school.

#68

So basically, the OP is an idiot if s/he was just a little nervous? Practice isn't the real thing. It was the OP's first day -- one little slip-up doesn't make someone mediocre. Go take your disgruntled feelings elsewhere.

OP - that was gold. Lmao, don't worry, worst mistakes have been made. XD

I see what you were thinking about xD

This goes into my favorites. :)

LMFAO!!! that totally made my day, but really, don't worry about it. slip ups happen every once in a while.

47- "Sexual worker" and "social worker" don't sound anything alike. Try again.

To the OP: Just point your finger at people and yell "Objection!" and you'll win any case.

68, your yelling at yourself

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA FUCKING SHIT ASHAHAHAHAHAHA PROSTITUTION OMG AHAHAHA GOOD JOB!~

#49 - ultimate win.
But, at least you now have a story to tell :) dont worry this could have happenedd to anyone
Give yourself a few years and you'll be rich!

Ha ha. The prostitution rests, your Honor!

Was the attorney a hot little number?

Hahaha this made me laugh.

Haha. A while back in school we had to read from the textbook in science. A girl misread "organism" for "orgasm" XD

this one makes me giggle = )

That's cute!

i love you. ha

Wupz. XD

HAHAHHAHA
NICE JOB BUDDY
IT'S OK, JUST THE FIRST DAY
in 10 years you'll look at this and laugh

I did the same thing with organism. Except I said orgasm. It sucks major when you get tongue-tied.

When I was a kid, I was in trouble with the cops CONSTANTLY. When the system finally got tired of fuckin' around with me, I ended up in front of a judge. My assigned counsel had never been the lead in front of a judge before. She was stammering and sweating PUDDLES and stumbling over herself. At one point, she just went blank. Stared at the judge, stared at me, stared at her boss, stared at her papers and then kinda came back to Earth. I was thinking,"The judge is going to have me executed." :) All of a sudden, I'm wondering how she's doin' now.

Don't worry. Everyone stutters.

That sucks. I am hoping to be an attorney when i get older (i'm 14). You were nervous and mixed up your words a bit. Would have been hilarious if it was a case about prostitution. Lol FYL

Simple misstake, dont let it get you down.

RI

haha I wish I could have been there :D

well you coulda been lucky.. dE

WOW epic Fail...

This isn't funny at all, all you did was mispronounce the word prosecution.

Same thing.

:)

Aw man thats badd...

But 20 yrs down , when u'll be an awesome lawyer - u'll remember this and have a good laugh :)

don worry abt it buddy!

LOL that is sooo screwed up!!!

I did that too in my first year, not a big deal!

This FML screams 'Phoenix Wright' somehow.

Though I don't think the word 'prostitution' is ever used in any of the games.

And I don't think Edgeworth is a prostitute.

Is he?

^That's exactly what I thought. Phoenix Wright is awesome.

Gotta love Freudian slips. Maybe the ADA was dressed like a hooker. I used to be a public defender, and went up against an ADA who was like that. Of course, she didn't have the body to pull it off, so maybe that's why I never made the same mistake that you made. :) But seriously, one day you will laugh at this, too, OP.

#104 He might be. Can't be sure if that's a pimp suit.

That'll make the plaintiff feel awkward paying the lawyer after the trial.

107 - The prostitution, I mean prosecution, handles criminal matters, and is paid a salary by the state. So, there won't be any awkward moments.

Hahahahahaha that's so funny!!!! Priceless! But seriously, FYL that's fucked up & embarassing hope u made a good enough come back to get back on their good side, but hey we all mess up from time to time...

PROSTITUTE!

I had to do a mock trial in my history class and I did the same thing, except mine didn't get published.

noob :P

THE PROSTITUTION RESTS!!!! SHEEW.... lol

lol

THE PROSTITUTION RESTS, YOUR HONOR. NO, PLEASE, NO, NOT AGAIN!

LOLOLOL.

This reminds me of this guy on this TV show who was giving his graduation speech and said 'sex' instead of 'success'

Anyone else find it ironic as to what comment number 69 says?

You're bad.

#3, you're amazing.
This FML is just adorable. Intrigue! Drama! Fledgling lawyer!

I'm starting law school soon. I can only hope I see funny things like this later in life.

Another Freudian slip. Either that or you have hookers on the brain.

Either way, it's your first appearance. I think having a touch of nerves is ok. At least you got the Jury / Judge's attention.

Dude, how's that a fail? Most prosecutors are whoring themselves to the DA to get a better job later. I'd call this an accurate use of the language.

LMAO. I'm going to start a clinical internship this fall as a public defender. I'm so going to remember this when I argue my first case.

Its ok.........youre only human

Lmao!! This had me in stitches!! Good one!!

happens all the time i'm sure. especially when people try to say organism but instead say orgasm. my bio teacher did that. it's a simple slip of the tongue. laugh it off and move on.

it happens...u are a lawyer however so congrats to u! good luck.

Good luck living that one down. You won't be the first or the last to screw up on your first case. It's the ice breaker. Kudos for all your learning of the law.

i literally could not stop laughing.

Well was the defendant being charged with prostitution lol
Jk
I can imagine the judge "Wtf was that for calling names will not help u win"

haha )))) lol. That was great!
My classmate during practice of oral argument called the judge as "Judge Redtie", because he was wearing a red tie and she was nervous and forgot his real name.
man, those stories are funny.

Gave me a giggle at least. :D

Ah, you were just nervous. :D

I wonder if the whole room started laughing.

"Oh, I was just wondering if you were paying attention"
hhaahah

Wow, that's fucking hilarious, but it's alright. It was your first day on the job anyways.

As embarrassing as that was, it's still hilarious. I can bet that you will look back on this a few days from now and laugh your ass off.

Don't worry people make mistakes all the time, you'll be okay.

just a minor setback. get on with ur life

That's amazing.

Brlliant. Any haters (eg #68) give them a break, attorneys are teople poo

@140
is teople a real word?


whoa...major epic phail

HAHAHA FAIL!

looooooooooooooooooooool

might be time to consider a different career. alpaca farming, for instance.

well maybe she was.. sooo maybe you were right hmmmmm...

I'm sure it happens to everyone.
:3

HAHA Freudian slip perhaps

ROFL

hahahahahaaha ohh wooww im sorry FYL but thats hillarious :)
if i need a lawyer make sure i hire you for sure :D
(im bein serious not insultin there ) ^

I'm guessing you're a public defender then :D

LMAO LMAO

Planning what your going to do after work already??? I MEAN COME ON WAIT TILL YOU LEAVE THE OFFICE SHEESH!

Funny !!!!!!!

HAHAHAHA I'VE DONE EXACTLY THE SAME THING

Hahaha that's so funny

Once I meant to say breath test & I said breast...on opposing counsel's answering machine. He probably played it for his entire office. I'm female, too. Don't worry about it.

Haha, well if they sass u, u can just strike a pose and say "PREPARE TO FEEL THE POWER OF ATTORNEY"

I have not laughed this hard in so long.

Fantastic

LOL.

Nice 1, mate!

But at the same time... Sorry for your luck!

I had an english teacher who said "catholics and prostitutes" instead of "catholics and protestants". She even wrote it on the board

Awesome. Would have been even better if you called the judge your horny instead of your honor. He he

I thought that's how you actually say it...

lol, when i was younger, like around 5 I always called substitute teachers prostitute teachers so hey we make the same mistake! FOL!

It's a common mistake.

This is not a fml this is a lol. At least someone can lower tensions in the courtroom. Asuming they all have some sense of humor and rofled after you said it. :3

wow. I LOVE YOU GUYS!
glad i made you laugh :)

Too good!!!

Don't worry, everyone does that at one point in there life.


And with that statement, the "prostitution" rests.

YDI - Just for being a f***ing lawyer.

Freudian slip... It happens.
But then, I've seen this same old joke on plenty of sitcoms so I claim fake.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

hehe. I lol'd. really. :)

Court fail!

@5 They said ; "$20 an hour"

Epic fail.

lolol. extreme.

congrats on your first trial tho

So, know what they call 1,000,000 attorneys at the bottom of the ocean??? A GOOD START.

Id hire you.

when I was on the fire department, I was reading the upcoming events. Instead of reading wild hose bash, I read wild whores bash. They all laughed and said thing like 'well I am going' I laughed too, but I was so embarrassed.

Word pwnage

They should put this in Law and Order. That show needs some lulz.

LOL prostitution

funny as hell ahaha

ignore the ppl saying epic fail.

this is EPIC.

Thats priceless. Thanks for posting something real.

That's one way of saying "I'm out of a job"

hahaha, you poor thing. but that did make me lol and it's now in my faves :P

This was great xD

Rotflmfao that just made my day lmfao
