Your mortification has brought me a very much-needed laugh. I hope that's at least some consolation.

I've been trying to decide if that'd be called a catachresis, a malapropism, or a good ol'-fashioned Freudian slip (aka parapraxis). The words for using the wrong word are the very best words of all.
