Hungarian term or phrase: aranyköpés
Nyilván tudnom kéne. Biztos tudom is :-)
Az, amikor valakinek önkéntelenül valami hülyeség csúszik ki a száján, ami másoknak (és egy pillanat múlva magának is) mérhetetlen derültség forrása. Lenne ugye a wisecrack - de az szerintem eredetileg is szellemesnek volt szánva. Slip of tongue - ez igaz, de nem feltétlenül vicces. Szóval tudna segíteni valaki, aki nem fáradt még le péntek estére?

brilliant stumble


Explanation:
Pl.:
"There is one curious aspect to his stumbles. Every once in a while he says something in a stumble so brilliant that it is hard not to think he did not intend it. For instance, when he coined "misunderestimate", he came up with the perfect word to describe the mistake made by many of his opponents. And when speaking to the Unity Conference he came up with another brilliant stumble. " (stb).
