Today, I was walking through my town when a man on a bicycle rolled up to me and said, "I don't mean this offensively but you're really well-built." I don't know whether he was commenting on my height or comparing me to a shed, but my mother won't stop laughing. FML

"Built" refers to musculature. Perhaps it's not as widely used in the UK but it is quite a common term here. You were not being compared to a shed; it was a compliment. Maybe a bit skeezy, but nevertheless a compliment.

Used the same here, even know the area OP lives and its def used there.

I thought it would be; I am so baffled by the OP's concluding that the person must be talking about her height or a shed that I'm taking shots in the dark.

Usually, that means you've either got big **** or a nice ass, or both (ftw!) What bizarre dialect of English do you speak where the ambiguity is between height and a shed?

I think her mother is actually laughing at her for being a total ditz and not understand the term. OP do your friends laugh at alot aroubd you and do you not know why?

I have no clue what happened to that second sentence. Autocorrect?

I'm sure the dude wanted to store his tool in her shed.

He was admiring your physical form. I give him props for offering a compliment without being vulgar, and I'm not sure how this is an FML?

He must have thought you looked like you had some good screws.

It just means you have a really nice shape, you're probably really athletic? Or at least you look like it!

You're a beautiful shed, I'd store my "tool" in you.
