Blunders (6)
I believe the answer is:
gaffes
'blunders' is the definition.
(gaffe is a kind of blunder)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for gaffes that I've seen before include "Socially embarrassing actions or remarks" , "Social blunders, often of speech" , "bloomers" , "Faux pas" , "Embarrassing blunders" .)
