Jürgen Klopp managed to make a NSFW language mix-up somehow endearing
You don’t have to be a Liverpool fan to be totally smitten with their German manager, Jürgen Klopp – but it probably helps.
In a press conference ahead of his club’s Premier League fixture against Newcastle F.C., a nuance of pronunciation resulted in a very funny, and somehow adorable, NSFW gaffe.
Klopp's basically spent the last 7 years thinking everyone was saying "fuck" instead of "fog" hasn't he? pic.twitter.com/byFUsxu1DS

‘Why can everybody say that word and if I say it, it’s not okay?’
“Which word?”
“Brain-fuck.”
His misunderstanding just made people love him more.
I love this man with all of my heart. pic.twitter.com/QfWiCwjvpU

Klopp is already a hero on several levels but this is the new canon term. Brain fog is out, Brain fuck is in. https://t.co/6rVrO72Vls
