ill-error

A phrase anyone can use in order to have a legitimate sounding excuse for making a mistake at work, at home or when you return something, and you can't think of any other reason.

It also helps if your are or have been sick, thus bringing a little cred to your lame excuse. (Can be used in conjunction with it's 2nd cousin: "ill-advised".)
Woman: Wow! What were you thinking? Of course your pineapple is going to spoil if you bought it 3 weeks ago and left it on your kitchen counter. We can't give you a new one.
Man: Yeah, but I wasn't thinking properly...it's an ill-error. I didn't realize it because I've been sick and couldn't come into the store without giving everyone here my flu.
Woman: OK, go pick one out and I'll have someone ring it up at no charge.
Man: Thank You...(with a fake sneeze)

unforced error

1). In tennis, whenever a player misses an otherwise easy or effortless shot due to their own inattentiveness rather than the opposing player's skill.

2.) In politics, a polite term for when someone ends up creating their own scandal through poor or tactless decision making.
1.) Bobby Sands failing to make that save at Wimbledon was an unforced error.

2.) Donald's Trump's statement about Mexican migrants "bringing in drugs" and being "rapists" during the 2016 campaign was an unforced error that cast a cloud over his entire presidency.

Spublic Error

A public spelling error found in a document you've already written and published. Embarrassment is increased in an error that cannot be edited once published.

Shame is proportionally equal to the size of the reading audience. Additional humiliation--when the person who finds your error is your boss. (Extra points for finding a spublic error in his/her comments to you. Extra, extra points for not pointing it out...)
It wasn't until the blogger hit "send" on his web site definition of Burning Envy that he found he'd committed a spublic error. Would he be able to edit it...? Tune in next episode to find out...
