In the heat of the moment we've all been known to have a slip of the tongue in inopportune occasions.
Luckily for most of us, we don't do it live on TV.
Amid the adrenaline of the United Rugby Championship Grand Final on Saturday, which saw Munster come out on top over the Stormers in a pulsating match in Cape Town, the occasion got the better of man-of-the-match John Hodnett in the jubilant post-match interviews.

Not many, if any, will be have been offended by Hodnett's use of language in the live segment - we all want sportspeople to be humans, not robots.
But arguably it was Hodnett's team-mate, Ireland legend and Munster skipper Peter O'Mahony's reaction to it that makes the incident all the more amusing.
O'Mahony put the man-of-the-match medal around Hodnett's neck, and a South African TV presenter leaned in to ask him his reflections on a hard-fought win which saw him score the decisive try.
"The player of the match, the final, very well done, very well played, a great win for you guys no doubt," the pitchside broadcaster said.
Hodnett replied: "Ah look, f***, it's some win in fairness you know, we've had it tough the last few weeks, we've been on the road non-stop, it gave us great belief, winning away from home, it's just another one on our journey. Winning here is massive for everyone, not just the 23 who are here today, it's everyone at home. It's a whole year of work, it's unbelievable to say we're champions now.
It's O'Mahony's facial expression to Hodnett's slip of the tongue that makes the clip though, with the Ireland legend raising his hand to his face and rubbing his forehead with incredulity. Reaction online has been on amusement, with several loving the candid nature of the response to the question.
O'Mahony himself talked up his team's "incredible resilience" after they won in South Africa.
It was Munster's first major trophy for 12 years and came after defeats in the 2015, 2017 and 2021 finals.
Hodnett's try five minutes from time - converted from the touchline by fly-half Jack Crowley - denied the Stormers back-to-back URC crowns.
"We showed incredible resilience and skills to score a well-worked try with five minutes to go. It was a tough surface and tough conditions with a wet ball," said O'Mahony.
"We went behind but we stuck to our guns. We got back into it and the last five minutes were class."
