A courtroom erupted in laughter after a lawyer accidentally called the judge “honey” during proceedings.
The slip happened while the attorney was making his argument, and the word just slipped out. Realizing what he’d said, he froze in embarrassment as the courtroom went quiet for a moment.
Witnesses say even the judge cracked a smile before moving the case along, while the lawyer tried to recover and continue speaking as if nothing had happened.
Clips of the moment have since gone viral, with people online joking that it’s the “most awkward thing you could ever say in front of a judge.” Some said they’d never be able to show their face in court again after a mistake like that.
