My mum asked the neighbour if they were "dogging" on Boxing Day. I looked appalled and she said, "well we always do Boxing Day dog walk"

The other one was my uncle just before Christmas last year saying he hadn't heard that song "Gangbang Style" I blushed to the roots and had to make my excuses whilst everyone talked about how it was called "Gangnam Style"

Not an old person, but we had the bosses son doing some summer work with us a few years back

Me and the lad I worked with at the time were discussing bukkake one day and the bosses son asked what it was.

We just paid him short shrift and said summat like 'oh you'll find out for yourself one day' and left it there

Then about 3 days later, he came in and said 'cmon tell me, what is this bukkake ? - it's just that I asked my mum this morning and she doesn't know what it is either'

An old colleague was giving a speech in a company meeting and likened the growth of the company to an octopus spreading its testicles

I once asked a child how many testicles an octopus had in a prompt about octagons and the number of sides they had.

My mum told me she was going out In the garden to trim her clitoris once. (Clematis)

She also text me the other day to ask if the tape I wanted for decorating would be near the dick tape in homebase (duct tape)

Once there was someone in their early to mid teens who was questioned about what certain things were in sex. Just the extreme basics too. Such as what colour cum was and how it looked. What a tit wank was, etc. Yet when they answer the questions incorrectly as the child had a bit of a strict upbringing and didn't have access to the Internet/Sky until they were in their an adult. The person was heavily mocked for ages because of it. I witnessed it and have mixed opinions on what I think of that situation.

Dick tape could be very useful should one accidentally damage theirs

My mum last xmas announced to me & my sister that she would love a pearl necklace. I told her I have had them before and they aren't as much fun as you would think, plus the clean up afterwards. She looked bemused when my sister staggered out of the room choking with laughter. Only when she saw the smirk on my face did she realise there was a possible second and mucky meaning to her innocent request

Many moons ago, long before my mother developed Alzheimers, she bought me a little "massager" with "realistic finger" attachments as a birthday present. It was to help with my neck pain.

My father, sister, brother-in-law and I didn't dare look at each other.

My Nan told me that her friends son was a "Penis", she meant Pianist.

Her sister had a friend who used to pop round for a brew and a chat every week, and mid conversation, every week without fail, her pal used to get up and go home. She never said bye, or I've got to go, she just walked out. The first time she did it, my Great-Aunt sat there for ages waiting for her to come back from the toilet. She went looking and she'd gone lol. We never got to the bottom of why she did it, she was never rude except for this one thing of getting off mid convo lol.

My Granddad had a colostomy bag fitted, and rang to say he had a problem with it squeaking.

It never squeaked when he was out and about, just at home. This went on for a couple of weeks, and he wouldn't tell the nurse. I was telling him to check his hearing aid, but he was adamant that it was his bag.

In the end, I went round to convince him to tell his nurse. So we're sat there and he goes "Listen! Can't you hear it?!" It was the smoke alarm and it needed new batteries.

God love him lol

No, it's more that they say things inappropriately but innocently. Mix things up or just mishear things.

Think I know what you mean, but what i mentioned wasn't anything to do about mixing things up or mishearing stuff. It was due to the fact they had literally no knowledge of anything sexual.

My friend takes his mum and aunt to the dog track every now and then. They were in the supermarket when she bumped into one of her friends who she proudly announced "my boy is taking me dogging tonight".

Even when he was telling me the story he was blushing.

One of my very young nephews dropped a cocktail sausage which rolled under the settee; his elderly aunt then asked him, in front of the entire gathering, if he was 'playing hide the sausage'. I avoided everyone's eye for a good ten minutes afterwards.
