Blooper (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

gaffe

error

'blooper' is the definition.
(I know that gaffe is a type of blooper)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for gaffe that I've seen before include "Remark one wishes unmade" , "Social blunder" , "slip" , "A foolish error" , "Clanger" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Star Tribune and the Penny Press.
