When people so perfect, so prestine, so accomplished, and immaculate; mess up just so they can see what it's like.

In the food-service industry, when a steak is cooked incorrectly (more often than not, overcooked), a new steak is cooked for the guest. The original over-cooked steak, often un-touched, or merely sliced into to determine wellness, is perfectly good for eating. As a server, mistake steak is an annoying (because of the lowered tip received from the guest) mistake, but also a delicious one.
The kitchen fucked up my steak order for my table again, god damnit. They ordered medium-rare and this is medium-well. Oh-well. While they're cooking a new stake, I'll eat this mistake steak. OM NOM NOM.

the rightfully given nickname to the city of cleveland ohio because the city truly is one of the biggest mistakes in the world. not only has cleveland managed to set a river on fire but they also havent won a sports championship since 1948
im looking on the map for cleveland but its nowhere to be found.
thats because they changed the name to mistake by the lake
