The producers of the TV show American Idol apologized Thursday for misinterpreting a contestant in Louisville, Kentucky.
After failing his audition, Mark Mudd said: "Take care and be careful."
Paula Abdul told him, "You don't say that to people.... That's just not a normal thing to say."
Apparently it is an expression in the region, one of parting.
The producers say they had been surprised because the expression had not been heard before from other contestants. "We now know better and look forward to visiting Louisville again someday."
