UK reporter mixes up 'dog walkers' & 'joggers' on live TV & netizens can't keep calm

In a hilarious slip of the tongue, a weather reporter of international broadcaster said “doggers” instead of “dog walkers and joggers” on live telecast from Greenwich Park in London on Monday. Though she corrected herself immediately and continued as if nothing had happened, it was all over the internet in no time.

Netizens were quick to spot the jumble up and the post on social media. Garnering millions of views, BBC weather reporter Carol Kirkwood’s clip went viral on the internet where she first says “doggers” and quickly corrects herself saying “not doggers, of course”. 

Kirkwood said, “Good morning everybody and Greenwich Park is one of the oldest and enclosed of the Royal parks and look at it; fabulous, the sun is beating down. We've seen lots of doggers. 

“Lots of...not doggers, of course, dog walkers and joggers around her through the course of this morning,” she corrected herself quickly.

Netizens share a laugh

Several internet users have posted clip from BBC's telecast and shared a laugh. While some said it was Kirkwood's 'commendable' facial expressions that was appreciatable, others lauded the 'innovation' and admitted they would use 'doggers' more often because of the weather reporter. One of the internet users even called it "UK humour" and someone from the United States inquired if it's a 'British slang'. Many called it a "Freudian slip" and even googled the actual meaning of 'doggers'. 

Reporter apologises on Twitter

After her clip gained a lot of attraction on social media, Kirkwood took on Twitter to apologise for the goof up and said the incident will teach her to say 'dog walkers' and 'joggers' in a single sentence. Several people who walked their dogs on the park also took on the 'jargon' and shared videos with their pets on social media tagging the weather reporter.
