Dorky things you have said out loud and then immediately thought "doh what a dorky thing to say..."

And I mean out loud in front of other people so that the embarrassment is compounded - for example:

"Of course, you're forgetting that Batman is also the world's greatest detective..."

and...

(while looking at a gadgets website) "Woah! Check out the shit that my DJ's revolving!!!"

I was at SPACE CAMP(!) the summer between 6th and 7th grade and I had developed a crush on a girl there named Shelley. The class was outside one night stargazing and my friend Benj noticed Shelley was flirting with another dude, and it irritated me, and in some fit of jealous rage I went up to them and said, "Break out the Saran Wrap!" Which is so senseless it might not even be dorky. I'm still not sure what I meant exactly, but it nevertheless remains a classic story among my childhood friends.

person: "This is going to be a tough situation..."
snoball: "You should roll for initiative!"
person: "roll what???"
snoball: "oh, er, nothing..."

Making up my on lyrics in my head to Just a Little by Liberty Ex, about executable file types then singing this out loud.

"this is the best anti-war film I've ever seen"

Exe, everything about you so Exe, not a batch or com file etc etc.

I'm not proud, the section on scripts is especially bad.

aw

See, that was more endearing than dorky, so you have proven yourself wrong.

said to people taking jager shots
"those are the bomb"

I should have said "those are the diggity"

If you were Japanese, you would commit suicide after that kind of shame.

the most clever thing I ever said was when I worked at sbarro.
Some guy asked for a lid and I said "I've got you covered" as I gave it to him. I didn't realize I was clever until he laughed and made a sophisticated compliment.

I'm good about twice a year for a regrettable pun, obviously unironic, uttered vociferously during a hush in the din.

Just 10 mins ago in an email to my helpdesk staff I wrote ". If in doubt come see me I can show you how to shot IP change."

It then occurred to me that the how do I shot web meme might not be as ubiquitous as I figured.

genuine lol ^_^

Is that dorky? Then I'm a dork too!

I once asked a bar mitzvah band if they knew Hava Nagila. That's the dorkiest thing I'v ever done.

Don't worry, everyone does this.

Exe, everything about you so Exe

Hardcore real-life lols, that is awesome.

OK, this is actually awesome.

Well, Moley, I felt like a dork coz I made the statement quite loudly, and some guy turned round and gave me a quizzical eyebrow.

I once mispronounced "opprobrium" in front of a room full of people that I liked. God I felt like a dork.
