n.
embarrassing mistake made in public
Blooper
A blooper usually describes a short sequence of a film or video production which contains a mistake made by a member of the cast or crew. These bloopers, or
outtakes as they are also called, are often the subject of television shows or are sometimes revealed during the
credit sequence at the end of the
movies. (
Jackie Chan and
Burt Reynolds are both famous for including such reels with the
closing credits of their movies.) Humorous mistakes made by athletes are often referred to as bloopers as well, particularly in
baseball. In East Asia, bloopers are referred as NG's (No Good).
