Student gives professor an awkward nickname, accidentally submits paper without changing it
We've all had embarrassing written word-related misfortune in our lives, whether it be accidentally sending the wrong text off to the wrong person or hitting send on an email before we finished editing.
But this college student just took text related awkwardness to the next level.

Twitter user @zoeyoxley shared a major edit blunder on Twitter with the caption "a series of unfortunate events."
After submitting a paper to her professor, Oxley noticed she had not changed the placeholder name she'd given the professor in question.
That would not have been the end of the world, was it not for the fact that Oxley had chosen the placeholder name "Professor whats his nuts."

Oxley was not the only one who found this placeholder name fail funny enough to share on social media.
The professor – Professor whats his nuts, if you will – also tweeted about the the placeholder name incident.
A student emailed me, profusely apologizing for getting my name wrong at the top of their paper, and I was like, “Thanks, whatever, nbd.” Then I got to their paper and saw their instructor was “Professor whats his nuts”

People on Twitter had a lot of feelings about this name mix up.
Look, fair warning, any human I meet whose name I can't remember will now be referred to as Professor What's His Nuts. https://t.co/1OaIwc5qqJ

“Professor What’s His Nuts” was my father’s name. Please, call me Deez.
