Teasing a News Anchor

A news anchor's slip up is grist for the mill.
KnivesOutsays...

So the "slip-up" was the word "Plucky", like instead of "Lucky"?

"Plucky" is a word, and was used in the right context.

Plucky
Pronunciation:
\ˈplə-kē\
Function:
adjective
Inflected Form(s):
pluck·i·er; pluck·i·est
Date:
1840

: spirited, brave

Thanks for the vocabulary lesson. Now listen to it again, and perhaps you'll notice that the woman does not say "plucky".

OK, if you say so... she pretty clearly says "plucky", at least to my ears. I've listened to it 5 times.

Maybe there's a bit of an "F" sound in the beginning, but that really just sounds like hiss on the mic, to me.

A little? Sounds like you're trying to cover up your fuck up!

Sounds like 'flucky' to me too. Most likely she started to say 'fortunate' and then switched to lucky part way through. If you pay attention we make those mistakes in conversation pretty frequently.
