howler
Laughably obvious error
A howler is a glaring, obvious mistake—the kind that makes people wince or laugh: That typo in the headline was a real howler.
The word suggests an error so bad it practically screams.
Howler also refers to things that howl: howler monkeys, or something hilariously funny: The comedian's set was full of howlers.
