The Drunk Mustard
n - Any message sent or received via touch-screen enabled smart phone where auto-correct on the device has made changes to a word, sometimes with comical results.
It was back in August of 2010. MINI Takes the States was just starting and my friend was out having cocktails in the City of Brotherly love. A barrage of text-messages were flying from coast to coast for most of the evening when I thought I would be clever with a text message very much like the following.
Have fun you drunk bastards
Enter the new HTC Incredible that had been in my possession for about 2 weeks. It’s auto-correct works very well, but it doesn’t know certain words. Expletives to be sure, but also a few others.
Like bastards.
Since I wasn’t used to checking the output from an auto-correcting phone, the message you read above it the message I thought I sent. The actual message received was the following.
Have fun you drunk mustards
Good times.
