Pronunciation mistake.

The other day I was helping out my one Hungarian actress friend with her accent for some poems she was reading for a celebration of Islamic poetry at the university...

In the middle of a poem - her pronunciation was beautiful! - she made a slight mistake with the word "horseback", so I heard her say...

The caliph rode on whore's back

That happened, honestly. And when I asked her to say that line again, she mispronounced it a second time! We had a good laugh over that one.
