A very unfortunate and X-rated Wheel of Fortune guess took the internet by storm on Thursday night.
If you hate vulgar language, now’s the time to click out of this article, because Wheel of Fortune contestant Tavares left Pat Sajak momentarily speechless with his explicit response on Thursday night. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

During the $1,000 toss-up round, a puzzle came up in the “phrase” category. Here’s what Tavares saw when he buzzed in to guess:
The correct response was, “This is the best!”
But Tavares thought the first word was, “Right” and the last word was, “Butt.”
Yeah, that... wasn’t it.
“WHAT?” another contestant yelled. The crowd groaned and laughed at the same time.
“No,” Sajak said after several seconds.
After a few more letters popped up, contestant Blake correctly solved the puzzle.
“Much better answer,” Tavares told her.
Within minutes, the clip was plastered all over social media. Everyone sticks their foot in their mouth now and then -- Tavares just happened to do it in front of millions of people. Now he’s cemented himself in Wheel of Fortune lore.
Tavares didn't correctly solve the puzzle. But we won't soon forget this response. pic.twitter.com/UsoKqhifwU
