Actually, the term we prefer is “play d’oh!” (exclamation mark optional). A few of our favorites:

1. Bleating “I love you” on a one-night stand, right as you climax.
2. Crying right after you climax (especially common after ex sex).
3. Accidentally drunk-dialing your boss’s cellphone instead of your ex’s — and tuning out during the recorded message so you end up leaving your boss a voicemail to remember.
4. Wearing that pair of undies with the skid mark because you’re “only stopping by the bar for one quick drink,” and ending up in bed with a beautiful stranger.
5. Forgetting someone’s name at the exact moment they moan, “Say my name.”
6. Wiping so thoroughly right before a hook-up that you leave a teeny wad of TP wedged between your cheeks.
