bloopers
Mistakes kept rolling
Bloopers are mistakes or errors, especially embarrassing ones caught on camera during film or television production.
A blooper reel compiles actors flubbing lines, crew members wandering into shots, or props malfunctioning.
The term extends to any conspicuous mistake: The company's social media bloopers went viral.
In baseball, a blooper is a weakly hit fly ball that drops between infielders and outfielders for a hit.
