Today, my friend told me that semen was inflammable. Later at night I jacked off into a sock and then, excitedly, tried to lit the sock on fire. Turns out, semen is very much not inflammable. Naked, I shook my sock in the air so it would extinguish while my semen splashed out all over my room. FML

(+2)when you're told something can't do something, you HAAAVE to try it. haha...but yeah that was stupid.
(+1)agreed. OP you remind me of my twelve year old brother who wanted to see if our vacuum could suck up water. He then tried it on water he had run into the sink and broke the vacuum.
In other words, you're an idiot.
(+12)inflammable= easily set on fire (used figuratively or in nontechnical contexts)
flammable= easily set of fire
NONflammable= NOT catching fire easily
Therefore, YDI for being stupid.
(+2)thank you for pointing this out! i was surprised this wasn't like, the first comment.
although i'm sure there have been MANY unfortunate incidents with the flammable/inflammable confusion, lol.

(0)Hahah I once heard of a court case where a girl's violin instructor told her not to unloosen her strings or something, and apparently it means the same thing as loosen, and I forgot exactly what happened but she ended up snapping her strings and he was liable cuz they mean the same thing
(+7)Thank you. This just made me angry. Stupid people lacking basic vocabulary knowledge totally deserve to be covered in their own flaming sperm.
#191 - On 06/27/2009 at 10:15pm by omnisciencex
(0)While that is true, considering that Semen is indeed NOT FLAMMABLE (or NOT INFLAMMABLE, or NONFLAMMABLE, whatever way you want to put it) . I'm guessing that the OP DID know what inflammable means. Hence, he thought his semen would burn up with the sock, but was devastated to learn that it would NOT burn and his semen ended up "splashing" all around his room while his sock flammed alone. Still, a stupid situation, but I'll give him credit for knowing that inflammable and flammable are the same thing.

Inflammable and flammable both mean “combustible.”
Imflammable is not a word....

(+1)IMflammable?!? are you kidding me? Look it up bro, IMflammable is not a word and INflammable definitely is. wow what an idiot.
(0)I'm surprised #204's point wasn't the first comment. People point out that inflammable and flammable mean the same thing, but it doesn't occur to anyone until this point that semen could not possibly be flammable? If it's a liquid, and it comes from your body, obviously it's mostly water. It's not like the human body produces kerosene.
Also, what's with people declaring incorrectly that words do or do not exist on this site? You're ON THE INTERNET. It's not that hard to look it up first.

(-4)Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment.
Agreed. YDI for doing it. I guess inflammable means flammable due to English sucking. OP, Your friend didn't mean that. Your friend probably thought inflammable mean "Cannot catch on fire" as it would appear to be using the logic of the English language. What a stupid word.
#113 - On 06/27/2009 at 12:09pm by silvermoonstar3
(-2)I think the OP meant that his friend told him that it was inflammable(cannot be lit on fire) but then he found out that it was flammable(or in his words, "not inflammable").
To the OP: maybe the sock was the thing that was flammable and not the semen?
(0)define: inflammable
-gas or liquid able to ignite, explode or have adverse effect on humans or animals.
-Capability of a combustible material to ignite easily, burn intensely or have rapid rate of flame spread.
(0)yes in the english language "flammable" and "inflammable" are synonymous and have the same meaning... "non-flammable" is the antonym
#219 - On 06/28/2009 at 3:00am by PollySighDevil
(+8)You know that "flammable" and "inflammable" mean the same thing right? Inflammable things catch fire???
(+2)I was about to comment on that, too. Ha-ha! Inflammable does not mean "doesn't catch fire". Psht. I'm surprised this FML passed by the "selection process" with that wording. Then again, maybe that's why it passed; confusion much? Anyway, it's pretty disgusting what he did. An excuse to jack off? :p "for the sake of science".

(+4)Why the hell did it take 5 comments for someone to bring this up...
INflammable = flammable... because the root word is "inflame" as in... "to fucking set on fire"
YDI OP
(0)Obviously he should have used: fire-proof, incombustible, non-flammable, or non-inflammable but you should have gotten the idea.

(0)Where is Dr. Nick from anyway? He seems European, but I can't quite center him on Italy, Turkey or Albania.
Also, the correct term for not flammable is uninflammable. That is to say, "un" (not) "inflamm" (set on fire) "able" (able to be). Thus, uninflammable means "not set on fire able to be".
(0)dr. nick is from the simpsons.
"very much not inflammable" meaning that it's NOT flammable?
and then saying that you had to shake it to put it out?
this fml confused the shit out of me
#193 - On 06/27/2009 at 10:26pm by effyourlife_
his friend was probably playing a joke on the OP because he knew the OP was a retard and wouldn't know what inflammable meant, so he knew this would happen. so, actually--fucking win for the OP's friend. HLIA.
#196 - On 06/27/2009 at 11:05pm by stevesp101
(0)I was also going to say...maybe the sock (fabric items are generally flammable) was what caused the commotion...rather than the semen. Next time just jack off onto the floor and try lighting the semen itself on fire.
(+5)If you're old enough to have fire starting equipment then you're old enough to know the meaning of "inflammable". You just created a whole new level of idiocy
Made me laugh though! Kinda.

(+1)Hey do you know what else is inflammable? Your hair. Make sure to try that one out later tonight as well, moron.
(+2)That's hot.
No, seriously. Do you not know how put out a fire?
Do you not know the meaning of the word inflammable?
Isn't it light? Not lit?
Didn't you know socks can catch fire?
Read Guts and get back to me.
#17 - On 06/27/2009 at 6:44am by redbluegreen
(-1)Actually, inflammable... means able to be inflamed. Inflammable means it CAN be set on fire. Non-inflammable means it can't catch on fire.
#20 - On 06/27/2009 at 6:50am by backstagebitch
Most genetic material can burn. Besides, who thinks about burning stuff right after going in a sock... despite what your friend said. Besides, even if the sperm wasn't flammable, the sock is and it would burn anyway.

(0)I clicked that you deserved this. Why? Because inflammable means that you CAN catch it on fire. So what you should have written is that your semen very much IS inflammable.

(+2)This reminds me of the Simpsons episode were Dr. Nick learned that inflammable and flammable mean the same thing.
(+2)HA!
I thought the same thing. The quote just kept running through my head "Inflammable means flammable?"
#30 - On 06/27/2009 at 7:11am by CrazyAsian
(+2)So you didn't know what inflammable meant and then you assumed that the sock would not catch on fire because it has cum on it. You are a fucking idiot.
(0)u sound like the kid that watches a superman comic, than breaks both his legs jumping out of his windows...
(+1)HAHAHAHA YFI = You fuckin idiot
From your little experiment I see that you proved it true that semen is infact inflammable.
You obviously didn't pay attention in school did you?

#33 - On 06/27/2009 at 7:19am by glykoula09
(0)besides all of the other obvious stupid things that people have pointed out already, why did you think flinging it in the air would help put the fire out??????
#35 - On 06/27/2009 at 7:28am by heyyou1203
(0)I think you meant "not flammable". But anyway. Even if semen can't catch fire (which is probably can't since it's made mostly of water), socks can. Moron.
#36 - On 06/27/2009 at 7:32am by Victoria2103
(0)Well, who knows if semen can or cannot be set on fire? OP should dry catching said product in a beaker, they're much harder to set ON fire than socks are. All in the name of science dude. You really do deserve that for thinking the super semen would protect a sock.
(+1)i find it hilarious how all of you guys are giving this guy so much shit, for what? it's a guy! they do things like that! it's what makes the world go round. i laughed my ass off at this one!
BTW to all the people saying semen is made mostly of water, i'm sorry but you're wrong. sperm is 5% of what a man ejaculates, the rest is made up of WAY more than water. it is about a teaspoonful of sugar, protein, vitamin C, zinc and hardly any water which leaves the rest to be prostaglandins from the prostate and bulbourethral glands.
who's the idiot now.
#301 - On 07/04/2009 at 3:37am by betch_lover

(+1)YDI for retardation.
1) Inflammable is a synonym for flammable
2) The sock is still flammable even if the semen is some sort of miraculous fireproof semen
3) You should've known better than to test that
#56 - On 06/27/2009 at 8:27am by Pandarsenic
(0)FYI. not imflammable = flammable
Socks are "not imflammable"... well depends on the material but they do burn
Therefore, it was no question in my mind that you deserved it. Like Hello? For one, backtrack and read your words: "Later at night I jacked off into a sock and then, excitedly, tried to lit the sock on fire." Honestly, why does that sound like such a smart idea. Easy it's not.
Second, for whatever reason made you think this was a good idea. Curiosity maybe?.. idk, if you had to do it I would have thought it would be smarter to do it outside, y'know where you won't be spraying semen all over your room. And that way the neighbours we'll see you for the true moron that you are : )
#57 - On 06/27/2009 at 8:36am by I_hate_geography
(+2)Holy hell, I_hate_geography, you actually managed to piss me off so much with this idiotic spiel of yours that I created an account just to rant about how stupid you are. Maybe that says something about me but I simply couldn't stand to let this opportunity go. Anyway, we're not here for me; we're here for you. Do you realize there are, at best, two correct sentences hiding within the mess of words you try to pass off as coherent thought, and even those are questionable? Allow me.
"FYI." Not even three letters in and already it's clear you're below average. "FYI" is neither an abbreviation nor a sentence unto itself. It's an acronym. The period you insert here isn't even optional. It's flat-out wrong.
Exhibit B: "not imflammable [sic] = flammable." Wrong again, my special friend. It's hard to know where to begin there is so much wrong that I'll just start with the obvious. "Imflammable [sic]" is not a word! It's spelled, "inflammable." At least the OP got that much correct, and it's well established how much of a moron he is, so there is increasingly little hope for you. Also, inflammable and flammable both mean the same thing. Did you not read any of the 56 comments before you? You may have learned something, though I sincerely doubt it. Again, the OP at least knows what the word means, as evidenced by him excitedly (does it bother anyone else that he was excited?) trying to light his sperm on fire and being surprised when it wouldn't. (And a quick side note to all those trying to say the OP's a moron for not knowing what the word means: he's probably laughing at you all for believing he's the stupid one when you so clearly need to work on comprehending what you read, as Altephor first indicated in comment #91). Furthermore, the "in" of "inflammable" is an intensive prefix, not a negative one. I imagine you felt clever pointing out the OP's double negative. Too bad there wasn't actually one to point out, rendering you (shockingly) not clever, and bringing the score to OP: 3, I_hate_geography: 0. Wow. I'll only mention in passing the lack of a period ending the "sentence" and all but ignore the equals sign.
"Socks are "not imflammable"... well depends on the material but they do burn" Even assuming the first "imflammable [sic]" was a mistake, because, let's face it, 'm' and 'n' are so very close on the keyboard, the second one proves giving you the benefit of the doubt is nothing but a waste of time. So socks burning "depends on the material," does it? When was the last time you bought a pair of socks which wouldn't burn? Is there some kind of huge market for these things of which I'm unaware? I just did a quick search on Google and couldn't find nonflammable socks, though I did find a nonflammable product to help you put on socks, interestingly enough. And if indeed it did depend on the material, why even bother saying, "but they do burn"? That completely negates the dependency! You may as well stop after stating the wholly unnecessary. Are what are the three dots doing there? They're certainly not an ellipsis.
This is going to take a while. Onward.
"Therefore, it was no question in my mind that you deserved it." This is one of the questionably correct sentences despite it still displaying your idiocy. You begin with "therefore" as if you have somehow managed to lay a logical foundation for what follows, a classic error common with imbeciles. How about word choice? Both "there is no question" and "it was not a question" are better than the awkward and arguably correct "it was no question" you decided on.
"Like Hello?" You're missing a comma and only the first word in a sentence gets capitalized, with certain exceptions, none of which include the word "hello."
"For one, backtrack and read your words...." Wisdom: practice what you preach.
"Honestly, why does that sound like such a smart idea. Easy it's not." Again, you're missing a comma, but it gets worse. You're probably not aware, but it's common practice to mark questions with a unique symbol. I know you've seen it. It looks like this: ?. And, really, what the hell possessed you that you found it acceptable in any way to follow the first sentence with the second one? You're saying that his idea sounded like "such a smart idea" because it wasn't. I have only a three letter response: wtf? Geography can't be the only subject you hate because you plainly don't pay any attention in English either.
"Second, for whatever reason made you think this was a good idea." It's like you don't have a brain. There are at least three different trains of thought here which all arrived at the same point at the same time, collided in a burning fiery mess, yet somehow managed to not explode your head but rather arrange themselves into an incomprehensible stream and drive out your fingertips. You lack even the most basic building blocks for a sentence, a subject and a verb, but I suppose that's not surprising as you also lack the most basic building blocks for intelligence.
"Curiosity maybe?.. idk, if you had to do it I would have thought it would be smarter to do it outside, y'know where you won't be spraying semen all over your room." You would have thought that, wouldn't you? Now instead of staining his own belongings, he's splattering the house, the yard, the dog, and anyone walking by on the street. Lovely. Never mind you find it acceptable to use "idk," let alone at the beginning of a sentence, but you forgot your period! It is an acronym, after all. What are those two periods for after the question mark? More non-ellipses?
"And that way the neighbours we'll see you for the true moron that you are : )[.]" Exactly how "we'll" the neighbors (I'm American - we like to omit the letter 'u' sometimes) see him? The word you're looking for is "will." I know it's similar but, really? Way to stay strong till the end, though. I was wondering if any one person could keep up that level of stupid for any longer and you proved it possible. I'd bet your neighbors already see you for the true moron that you are. I know I do. In fact, you're probably the only one who doesn't, or, hopefully, didn't. I trust I've enlightened you.

(0)You're a MORON. Inflammable means something CAN be set on fire! Inflammable = flammable. Your friend didn't lie to you, they must have known what an idiot you actually are and thought it'd be funny to teach you a lesson for being SO stupid.

(0)Ok, your friend is AWESOME. He probably DID know what inflammable means and wanted to trick you into doing something stupid. And he did. So you absolutely deserved it. And, I think someone said this before but its worth repeating...even if you DID think the semen would not catch fire...WHY would you assume the SOCK wouldn't either?! Did your friend also tell you that if you ever want to prevent things from catching fire you should give 'em a healthy coat of semen?!
(Wow I just gave myself a horrifying mental image of someone like, trying to fire proof their house...*shudder*)

Unless the dude coated his sock in his man gunk he caught the sock on fire, not the semen, and in an attempt to put out the suck by fanning it in the air (smooth move btw) he unloaded his unborn children all over his room, cause they weren't burning up.
(0)Um, couldn't have been to much semen then. So not a big mess to clean up right? ;)
Hahaha, but dude, really.. never try something so f'ing stupid again!
(0)even if it wasn't flammable if you put it in a sock the sock is gna catch on fire you idiot
#83 - On 06/27/2009 at 10:13am by crazy4chocolate
(0)Socks are flammable. Liquids, like water, are usually not obviously. Gas and kerosene being two main exceptions to that rule. Your semen however is a bodily fluid comprised of mostly what?
(+1)You're all fucking idiots. He is using the word inflammable correctly. He thought the semen would light on fire, and wanted to see it. Then, he realized that semen does NOT light on fire, but his sock did. So as he tried to put the sock out, the unburned semen flew all around the room.
Reading comprehension, much?
(0)if he used the word inflammable correctly, doesn't that mean his friend said semen CAN catch fire and he understood that, and he then set fire to it anyway? setting fire to something just because your friend says it won't burn is pretty silly, but setting fire to something - in your house, and with no proper way to extinguish it - because your friend told you it WOULD catch alight is fucking stupid.
#98 - On 06/27/2009 at 10:59am by miss_california
(0)Did it ever occur to you that even if the semen couldn't catch fire (which is not the meaning of inflammable in the first place, but whatever) that the SOCK WOULD?
Also, you're a moron for lighting it inside the house in the first place.
(+1)for people who are confused, he knew exactly what inflammable meant, but wanted to see the semen light on fire. when the sock caught on fire, and not the semen, the semen that didn't burn went flying around the room when he tried to put the sock out.
#95 - On 06/27/2009 at 10:46am by wheesquack

(0)...so it was inflammable then, yes?
as was the sock
you should probably go die so the world doesn't have to suffer you any more
(+1)regardless if the seman was flammable or non-flammable, the sock obviously is, so that kind of ruins the experiment. you probably just set the sock on fire.
(0)Stole my comment... There are so many things wrong with this FML though. Logic is clearly not the OP's strong suit. Possibly not english either...

But a sock can catch on fire. Fool.

#116 - On 06/27/2009 at 12:21pm by that_one_dude
(+1)you are really fucking dumb
inflammable means it can catch on fire
waving it around is going to get it MORE caught on fire, stomping on it is how you put the fire out.
#117 - On 06/27/2009 at 12:21pm by lololol111
(+1)First of all, inflammable means "able to to catch on fire". Second of all, even if semen couldn't catch fire, didn't you think that the SOCK would??? Maybe you thought that semen had magic powers to render everything it touches fire-proof? Hmmm...this could be an interesting business venture. If it had worked, I mean.

(0)I'm confused...did you think the semen could catch on fire or not? Did you realize that socks can catch on fire?
#123 - On 06/27/2009 at 1:01pm by kibblesnbits1053
(0)Wow ur an idiot. INFLAMMABLE MEANS FLAMMABLE YOUR FRIEND WAS TRYING TO TRICK YOU. IT WORKED. YDI.
#125 - On 06/27/2009 at 1:04pm by Icy
(+1)not only does inflammable mean the same thing as flammable, but the sock was certainly not FLAME-RESISTANT. and shaking something around is the way to fan the fire, not put it out.
not only are you an idiot, but your friend's an evil genius.

#130 - On 06/27/2009 at 1:36pm by thelonelylurker
(0)You're an idiot and YDI. Your friend was RIGHT. Inflammable means very easily ignitable and combustible. Look up the word in the dictionary, stupid.
#134 - On 06/27/2009 at 1:46pm by strangersdk
(0)I really don't understand this one. By inflammable does he mean fireproof? Did he think that ejaculating in the sock would make the sock fireproof. It was the sock that was on fire, not the semen. Semen is mostly water and isn't going to burn. Plus, inflammable means flammable, so really this person is just an idiot.
(0)Think of it this way, inflame -> inflammable. See it now?
Anyway, OP, you're stupid for even lighting a sock on fire....
(0)Actually, it IS inflammable. Inflammable means "flammable".
They changed it because stupid people (such as yourself), didn't know what it meant.
So next time, use a dictonary, kay? :)
(0)Why does everyone assume that he thinks the semen would not be flammable? If you wanted to see if it was flammable OR not, you would still light it on fire. If he thought semen was unable to be burned, the sock still could have been on fire, not the semen. If, in fact, semen is able to be burned, the sock would be on fire regardless if the semen was burning or not. How do we know his friend meant "semen can burn."? Maybe his friend meant that it could not be burned. You still deserve it, but you deserve it because you lit a sock on fire, not because you didn't know what inflammable means.
#144 - On 06/27/2009 at 2:41pm by kibblesnbits1053
(0)if he understood that his friend told him "semen can burn" then he put some in a sock, set it alight, INSIDE THE HOUSE, and apparently had no means of extinguishing the fire, then he's still a fucking idiot.
#201 - On 06/28/2009 at 12:22am by miss_california
(0)wow.... just because semen is inflammable, doesn't mean socks are. YDI for not realizing that a sock would light on fire...
(0)Is this supposed to be funny because you don't know what inflammable means, or because you're an idiot?

The answer:
Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
Semen is mostly water with sugars being the second ingredient.
Since it is so full of water, it isn't [in]flammable in the "touch a match to it and it burns" but everything burns at a high enough temperature. But if you were bored enough to debate this, you could have done your own test. o.O
just fucking google it before you do something stupid...again. I am upset that you survived the conflagration unscathed. And yes, I know the answer above also included "you could have done your own test.", however I'm sure it didn't mean to set your living space and sock ablaze. YDI
#152 - On 06/27/2009 at 3:03pm by just_google_it
(0)You're an idiot for:
1.) Not knowing inflammable and flammable mean the same
2.) Not thinking the sock would catch fire in and of itself
3.) Trying this at all
Plus it's just damn weird. YDI.

(+1)inflammable
One entry found.
Main Entry: in·flam·ma·ble Pronunciation: \in-ˈfla-mə-bəl\ Function: adjective
Etymology: French, from Medieval Latin inflammabilis, from Latin inflammare Date: 1605
1 : flammable 2 : easily inflamed, excited, or angered : irascible
FYI: duh... YDI
(+1)and I'm going to say it again: Why do we assume he didn't know what inflammable meant? It could've gone like this:
Today, my friend told me that semen could burn. Later at night I jacked off into a sock and then, excitedly, tried to lit the sock on fire. Turns out, semen is very much not able to be lit on fire. Naked, I shook my sock in the air so it would extinguish while my semen splashed out all over my room. FML
That works fine. If I was stupid and didn't know that semen couldn't burn, I might be tempted to try it.
#163 - On 06/27/2009 at 4:59pm by kibblesnbits1053
(0)why would you light something on fire while inside? kill yourself you moron
#164 - On 06/27/2009 at 5:24pm by Casualt1234
(0)whether seamen is inflammable or not, socks can still be lit on fire. idiot.
#169 - On 06/27/2009 at 6:43pm by randomnessity
(0)hahaha how many guys do you think have tried this since you posted it??? same results too, probably
#170 - On 06/27/2009 at 7:02pm by ifoundnemo28
(0)You decided to test the flammability of something while it was inside a flammable object? Wow you're a champion! It's like watching Just Friends when she puts a microwavable container with tinfoil into the microwave. Long story short... you're an idiot!
(0)Now if only you weren't an idiot, you would know that flammable and inflammable mean the same thing. Have fun cleaning up your semen.
#176 - On 06/27/2009 at 7:59pm by f_your_life_39
(0)inflammable and flammable are the same thing and no shit the sock was gonna light on fire dumb ass. wish you'd burnt off your hair too. cause then you'd have to explain that to everyone. lol
(0)I knew it wasn't going to end well from the first sentence alone.
Question: Why are you such an idiot?
#179 - On 06/27/2009 at 8:21pm by jewelzgalore
(0)Semen might not be flammable. I couldn't tell you. Socks, on the other hand, are most certainly flammable.
(0)hahahah thats so funny! im so trying that! with and without a sock.
#181 - On 06/27/2009 at 8:42pm by penisface69
(0)thats what you get for jacking off, get a girlfreind looser, lol jkjk, but wow thats like funny as hell,
#186 - On 06/27/2009 at 9:29pm by Syngular174
(0)This is seriously hilarious. But honestly, if you set the SOCK on fire, what did you think would happen? lmao. :-)
#189 - On 06/27/2009 at 9:58pm by decibel_beads
(0)inflammable means it can easily be set on fire.
and why would you put it on a sock. wtf???
anyway, ydi for being a dumnass
#192 - On 06/27/2009 at 10:19pm by saxlover
(0)Please, continue to masterbait. May your semen NEVER reach the inside of a woman. Please, do not reproduce. Buy more socks.
#194 - On 06/27/2009 at 10:55pm by LogicLover
(0)so you didnt know if semen was flammable....
thats okay cause i don't know either.
however..
i know that the sock will catch on fire!!!
idiot.
#195 - On 06/27/2009 at 11:05pm by shudder_glasses
(+1)No, your friend was right. "Inflammable" actually means "very flammable".
#197 - On 06/27/2009 at 11:08pm by m1ss1ontomars2k4
(0)i know this kid and the story, and he actually did know his friend was telling him semen was flammable. He thought it was cool and wanted to try it out, but it got out of control and... messy. Still stupid, but the point isn't the confusion between inflammable/flammable.
#199 - On 06/27/2009 at 11:54pm by wheesquack
(+1)I'd say OP's friend, along with OP, both either thought inflammable means fireproof, or that it meant flammable so they wanted to try it out. Semen, however, is non-flammable. Too bad socks are.
(0)Kill yourself for having tried this, you fucking waste of skin.
#208 - On 06/28/2009 at 1:16am by flying_vegan
(0)WOW SOUNDS LIKE YOU KNOW HOW TO HAVE A GOOD TIME I GUESS NOW WOULD NOT BE A GOOD TIME TO BUY A BLACKLIGHT FOR YOUR ROOM BECAUSE THEN YOU WOULD HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO. YDI YOU FUCKTARD
#209 - On 06/28/2009 at 1:36am by CONNIE1390
(0)Yeah pretty much YDI for failing at language and setting a SOCK on fire.
#210 - On 06/28/2009 at 2:00am by waterynuggets
Did you have to really have to find out whether you friend was telling the truth?
Also, if semen WAS inflammable, then your sock would've burned up, so why did you have to get it back?
#212 - On 06/28/2009 at 2:32am by danineteen

(0)Great BALLS of fire! LOL
Hey -- give the guy a break....he put his hose in some hose and then had to put a fire out. I see a future fireman here.
But imagine if semen WERE flammable! Just think of the friction of intercourse (masturbation, too, for that matter) - and the subsequent dangers!
#218 - On 06/28/2009 at 2:59am by doof_fisch
(0)First off: Ew
Second off: You should've googled it before you tried it
and Third off: you could've just came in the sink, and then lit it on fire, so you have a handy water source, just in case

but wow who would do that. YDI
(0)You should've known the sock was flameable.
Although, FYL for all the semen on the walls. And probably ceiling. And floor. And belongings...
#224 - On 06/28/2009 at 4:34am by ShenziSixaxis
(0)ARE YOU SERIOUSLY SERIOUS!?!
HAHAHA THAT'S GOLDEN!!
#226 - On 06/28/2009 at 6:08am by Jackthestripper
(0)Are you trying to say "non-flammable"? Inflammable means "Able to be inflamed." Which is to say "Flammable."
Semen might not burn right away (until the heat boils the moisture and the proteins start to burn), but cotton will burn.
How come these stupid FMLs make it on the front page, but mine never do. Lame.
#228 - On 06/28/2009 at 7:50am by stringoffail
(0)Another detail that makes me think this is a short work of fiction:
Semen inside of a sock, or even on the outside a sock is viscous enough to stay put, even if you're flinging a sock fairly hard, especially since once you blow your load into the sock, it starts absorbing liquid right away.
Now THAT'S an experiment you should try. Trying to fling semen off a non-burning sock.
#229 - On 06/28/2009 at 7:52am by stringoffail
(0)I'm just going to say this made me laugh my fucking ass off. Rather than chiding him.
Good work, OP.
#230 - On 06/28/2009 at 8:21am by Coffee_Kaioken
(0)inflammable means it can be set of fire, and nonflammable means that it can't be set on fire. Also, a sock is flammable, so even if you put something nonflammable in there, it would still catch of fire.
therefore, YDI for being a complete idiot.
(0)YDI.
I don't really believe the semen all over the room thing though, how much can you jack out anyway?
(0)god all of you are stupid he says semen is very much NOT inflammable which means he saying it is not flammable so he know what he is saying and that the thing burning was his sock and he is just retarded for trying it
#237 - On 06/28/2009 at 12:00pm by CozmicAshes
(0)You caught it! So did #57. I think you'll find his other observations rather astute as well. But here's an informative graphic, just for you, courtesy of Maddox, which shows how far you have to go to not sound like an idiot. http://maddox.xmission.com/keyboard4.jpg
(+1)First off maybe #231 needs to help you too. Not inflammable is definitely not a double negative since the prefix in- is not negative. Here, let me simplify it for you: not inflammable = not flammable. Okay? Also, everyone who keeps stating the flammable and inflammable is the same and that the guy is a moron, first off, get another synonym for moron, and secondly, WE UNDERSTAND THAT FLAMMABLE AND INFLAMMABLE IS THE SAME THING.
By the way, I hope #231 is proud of me.
Oh, and you spell inflammable, well inflammable, not inflamable.
Thank you.
#305 - On 07/13/2009 at 7:57am by dumbasspricks
(0)lmao uhh.. maybe you thought the semen wouldn't be flammable..but did you ever think maybe the SOCK WOULD BE?
(0)It's also impossible to bob your head back and forth with your mouth open.
#244 - On 06/28/2009 at 3:44pm by More_Nonsense
(0)Inflammable means that the gases an object produces can catch fire. Idiot.
#247 - On 06/28/2009 at 6:41pm by DaelLittle
(0)Heeeey, you know, if you take shit before you go to sleep, and than rub some of that shit around your nose and sleep like that, an angel is going to visit you.
Why don't you try it out? At least, you won't get semen around your room...
(0)Flamable and inflamable mean the same thing. So in other words, your friend MAY have been saying that semen CAN catch fire. Here is why the two seemingly opposite words mean the same thing:
Flamable = able to catch a flame.
Inflamable = able to become inflamed.
Does that make sense?
Oh, and it's possible it was your SOCK that caught on fire, not the semen. Hm. and I guess if you wanted to, you could have put some semen on a cookie sheet and tried to set it on fire - that would have at least made it a bit safer.
#252 - On 06/28/2009 at 10:20pm by TryToBeKind

(0)Hey -- I jack off in a sock -- but I don't slip the sock on until right before I cum.
#267 - On 06/29/2009 at 1:35am by doof_fisch
(0)Well, even with the stupid confusion aside, why would you think that a sock wouldn't be flammible?
#256 - On 06/28/2009 at 10:46pm by froggy123000
(0)you completely can't go with that because the sock would flame up no matter what.... very stupid idea...
#257 - On 06/28/2009 at 11:52pm by gamersearch1
(0)IT WAS PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU LIT THE SOCK ON FIRE, NOT THE ACTUAL SEMEN.
#259 - On 06/29/2009 at 12:35am by lilmisskissmyass
(0)um....did you ever think that the sock was impervious to flame, too? because if you did, you're sadly mistaken. If that were the case, we would build fire suits of semen and socks.
#261 - On 06/29/2009 at 12:49am by angeljesso
(0)first of all, yea, youre fucking dumb. socks are not fire proof.
but second, now i want to know if thats true.
im a girl. so now do i have to ask someone to jack off in front of me so i can light it on fire?
(0)You're in luck! Semen is the new wallpaper.
Seriously, how dumb are you? Even if it wasn't flammable, the sock still is.
YDI.
#278 - On 06/29/2009 at 9:23pm by undercover_ninja
(0)LMAO Inflammable and flammable are pretty much the same thing!
Oh, and why were you jacking off with your mom in the room?
Ohh well. I'm guessing she ran into the room when she heard you panic, or maybe smelled the fire. But this sounds too disastrous to be real.
(0)....only in rhode island. by the way this story sounds im going to presume your from johnston? thats a pretty idiotic town

(0)I comfort myself in knowing that the semen wasn't used in a reproductive way. Dude, please for the love of all humanity, keep setting your semen on fire...use gasoline if you need too....just never...ever use it to reproduce your own kind. The world has enough stupid people slinging around hot cum...seriously...it does.

Everyone does stupid shit somtimes!
but that had got to be the dumbest of all!!
but so very funny!
(0)This arises many questions in my mind.
1. Why do men jack off into socks?
2. Does the OP know what inflammable means? If so, did he think the sperm would catch fire and burn up, or ignite like kerosene? If not, did he think semen was somehow immune to catching on fire?
3. He was so "excited" that he lit a fire?
4. Did the OP think the sock, soaked with semen, had been made flame-retardant? OR, did he think the semen would make the sock light up like some kind of sparkler, thus why he was excited?
5. Why did he wave the sock around to stop the fire? Shouldn't you stomp something out when it's on fire, or cover it with a blanket, or pour water on it, or do almost anything but wave it around?
Answers to these mysteries will be greatly appreciated.
#295 - On 07/01/2009 at 9:30pm by bridgetoparadise
(0)umm hun inflammable means relatively the same thing as flammable.. it can be lit on fire. Learn your vocab and maybe you won't get into situations like these
#296 - On 07/01/2009 at 10:45pm by chea234234
(+1)Has anyone else seen the words 'inflammable' and 'flammable' way too much, yet?
#297 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:51am by apathyisbetter
(0)"Flammable" and "inflammable" mean basically the same thing.
There are two "in" prefixes which are spelled the same. One means the same as "non-", or "un-", the opposite of what the word would mean without the prefix. The other is related to the stand-alone preposition "in", as in "inflammable", able to burst INTO flame. Why both words exist in the English language is beyond me, but since they do, might as well learn what they mean. :-p
#300 - On 07/03/2009 at 7:55pm by swagmonkey

my boyfriend is a fucking retard but he knows inflamable and flamable mean the same thing

(0)YDI for doing that in the first place, but even more so for not looking up what "inflammable" means.
#318 - On 07/25/2009 at 3:47am by yumpinyiminy
(0)okay. this is sad, how many comments here are trying to get the same point across.
basically, flammable and inflammable mean the same thing, just like famous and infamous.
so both socks and semen are flammable and INFLAMMABLE
#319 - On 07/30/2009 at 1:42am by 10ovhearts
(0)famous and infamous don't really mean the same thing. Infamous is being famous for bad reasons, like Hitler.
(0)umit was probably the sock that caught on fire. also inflammable means the same thing as flammable. ydi ydi ydi
