There are various colloquial terms, as a rule with slightly different connotations, for various forms and contexts of blunder. For example:

  • Howler (error), in which people, typically schoolchildren or politicians, provide embarrassing examples of misunderstandings
  • Boner, which has been used both as a synonym for "howler" and for more material blunders
