Freshman Error…

Thursday 10 July 2008

So many mistakes to make, and so little time to make them

There’s a phrase that echoes round certain groups of people whenever someone fucks up in the most silly of ways. Whether it is telling a girlfriend she does indeed look fat in that, or dropping a shiny new iPhone 3G in a pint of Worthingtons, you can rest assured some geezer will holler ‘Schoolboy error!‘ before long.

Why ‘schoolboy‘ though? There are plenty of impressive school boys. And why no gradation of errors? What if it’s just a minor mistake, or conversely a whopper size howler? How do you communicate these? This is how…
