I did a search and didn’t see any threads on this. At a press conference [Obama has a slip of the tongue](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVm49c_iXCE). It’s no big deal, but like I said, it is kind of funny. ---

Well, he really didn’t swear. He just stumbled a bit. ---

Well, he didn’t mean to swear, but he clearly said “shit”. ---

Maybe. But sometimes stopping before the last letter still makes it sound like you said the word. I guess my inner 12 year old is strong, because it’s not that funny but I’m still finding it amusing. ---
