笨嘴笨舌奖(英语:Foot in Mouth Award),又译语无伦次奖或不知所云奖,是一项由英国白话英语运动(Plain English Campaign)创立的奖项。这奖项专门颁发给“言语令人困惑的公众人士”[1],用以督促公众人物向大众提供资讯时,应使用简洁、易懂的语言和文字。
首届的笨嘴笨舌奖于1993年颁发,得奖者为英国板球队教练Ted Dexter,翌年举行第二届的评选。其后又停办两年,直至1997年起每年颁发。此外,英国简明英语组织还因前美国副总统丹·奎尔在1991年时所讲的话而额外向其颁发奖项。
时至目前为止,笨嘴笨舌奖共颁发过19次,当中只有威尔斯政治家洛蒂·摩根及英国前首相约翰逊两度问鼎该奖项。另一方面,政治家是这奖项的得奖常客,共九度赢得此“荣誉”;其次为体育界人物,四度把奖项收入囊中。

At this moment in time, if that changes in years to come I don't know, but what happens here today and changes as we go along that is part of life's learning and part of your inner beliefs. But at this moment in time I did not say them things and at the end of the day I want to put that on record because it has hurt people.) | [4] |

We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know.) | [7] |

The stories about the private security firm not having enough people, the supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials – that obviously is not something which is encouraging),以及“我相信那样的一个美国,当中有著百万的美国人相信著那样的一个美国—有百万美国人相信的美国。那就是我所爱的美国。”(I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that's the America millions of Americans believe in.

I loved it, and felt very connected to activism - particularly activism that feels loaded with potential. Not the oppositional activism that seems like there's a stasis around it - earnestly sincere, but a monolith equal to the establishment.) | [18] |
