‘Don’t cancel me’: Explaining Sahith Theegala’s hilarious ‘Mongolians’ trip-up
Sahith Theegala, a rising star in golf, recently made an unintentionally hilarious comment that sparked widespread laughter and confusion. During a press conference, when asked about his favorite trip, Theegala enthusiastically exclaimed, “I loved my trip to… Mongolians.” Realizing his mistake, he quickly corrected himself, saying, “I mean… Mongolia.”
The comment, which was captured on video and shared widely online, has become a viral sensation. Theegala’s explanation for the slip-up was equally amusing, as he revealed that he had been watching a documentary on Genghis Khan and the Mongols, and the word “Mongolians” had simply stuck in his head.
