Lapsus


Lapsus is a fairly widely used term in Finnish. I just found out that you can also use it in English (or can you?) - why not - any Latin term works just great with English (and makes you sound super smart). The funny thing is that I never knew that it is a Latin term. In Finnish it sounds very much like the word "lapsi" which means "a child" and hence I always imagined that lapsus is just derived from child - it is a childish mistake.
