there was a *fatality* on my favorite show

My favorite TV show is So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD for short).  I love, love, love it.  I LOVE it!  Currently, season 7 of SYTYCD airs on FOX on Wednesdays and Thursdays.  Do yourself a treat, and tune in.  You won't regret it.

Last week, two dancers were unable to dance because of injury.  It was really sad for one of those dancers who required surgery, and had to leave the show.  It was a tearful episode.

This morning I called my mother....

me:  Did you watch SYTYCD last night?
mom:  Yes.
me:  Okay, don't tell me anything, I only got to watch 2 of the dances this morning.  (I generally TIVO the show and watch it later)
mom:  Well, there was another fatality.
me:  Fatality???  Do you mean casualty? 
mom:  Well, there was another fatality.
me:  MOTHER!  Fatality mean someone DIED!  You know, like when you hear there was a 'fatal' car crash?
mom:  [starting to laugh harder and harder]  Don't tell anyone that I said that.
me:  Oh no mother, this is good stuff.  Damn good stuff.
