"Maybe we can canoodle?"
That's what CTV news anchor Andrew Johnson told his female weather co-worker.
According to KDVR, Johnson made what he thought was a relevant, clean, fun transition from a story about canoodling on the banks of the Union Bay to meteorologist Astrid Braunschmidt's forecast.
"It's time now for a full look at your forecast with Astrid, and maybe we can canoodle before you get into it about umm..." Johnson said, perhaps stopping because he had a producer screaming in his earpiece.
Braunschmidt's shocked response is what has most people in stitches over the blooper.
"We're NOT going to be canoodling," she said, using a cease-fire hand gesture. "What?!"
According to Gather News, immediately, a producer told the confused news anchor via his earpiece what "canoodling" meant, and the anchorman turned a bright shade of red, explaining, "oh, I thought canoodle meant chat!" Uncontrollable laughter could be heard from the entire crew, and Braunschmidt broke into a fit of the giggles as well.
"You know what? You just made the blooper reel," Braunschmidt told Johnson, still laughing. "Good job, Andrew." Embarrassed, Johnson told Braunschmidt, "Take it away. Get me off camera."
What does this mean about how people view the word "canoodling?"
According to the Dictionary.com, "canoodling" is "to kiss and cuddle; pet; fondle." It originated in the 1850's, which is why many people might not know the meaning. It meant back then "to indulge in caresses and fondling endearments."
It looks like canoodling is meant more for couples or people in love.
What do you think? Can anybody just "canoodle?" Or is it something special? Comment below!
