Gaffe

"Gaffe" meant one of two things, according to Clyde Langer: "where a dude lives", as Luke Smith quoted him, and a social miscalculation or mistake. Luke was confused by its dual meaning. (TV: Warriors of Kudlak) Clyde later used the term to mean Peter Dalton's place at 120 Christchurch Walk. (TV: The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith) Owen Harper referred to Mark Lynch's flat as his gaffe. (TV: Combat) The Eleventh Doctor, excited at the prospect of renting a room of his own at 79A Aickman Road, called it, amongst other things, his gaffe. (TV: The Lodger)
