Get the it said pens mug.
1) a typing phenomenon occuring when, in an attempt to write "pens," one accidentally writes "penis." This phrase is most commonly used in reference to this phenomenon for any words or phrases that closely resemble more incriminating words or phrases.

2) a forum post used to call another out when this kind of typo is made.

3) an AWOT expression used to refer to the first recorded instance of this phenomenon.
