wiscotti

Game-time snacks and appetizers. (Originally, a delicious twice-baked confection, studded with cranberries after the Italian fashion. Hard as a slab of the Frozen Tundra, it was intended as an accompaniment to, and often dunked in, a mug of beer.)

tongue typo 

What happens when you know perfectly well what you want to say but it comes out wrong.
