Today, I was in spanish class, having a debate about the death penalty. When I went to make a point, I meant to say "La pena de muerte", which means "The death penalty". I said, "La pene de muerte". Turns out that means, "The penis of death". FML

Theres a really terrible joke I could make...not gonna do it. But yeah you deserved that one.

#2 - On 03/04/2009 at 4:59pm by OhHai

This would've been a fun class to be in. It's funny when stuff like that happens, like if someone says ano instead año or excitado or something. :)

#3 - On 03/04/2009 at 5:02pm by jellybean17

Love it!

#4 - On 03/04/2009 at 5:03pm by Alice

haha that's definitely something i would do

#5 - On 03/04/2009 at 5:03pm by lkm0512

lmao that must've been embarrasing.. but its funny xD

#6 - On 03/04/2009 at 5:07pm by slipkid

hahahahahaha!
that's something i would do

#7 - On 03/04/2009 at 5:10pm by Savjh

hahahahahaha that is great!!!

#8 - On 03/04/2009 at 5:13pm by abcdefgh

U are my hero lol

#9 - On 03/04/2009 at 5:19pm by Kingxxkings

haha #2, when people say excitado for excited... there's a little bit different meaning there...

#10 - On 03/04/2009 at 5:20pm by Kinkos582

did you say "estoy embarazada" afterwards?

#11 - On 03/04/2009 at 5:21pm by ummmyeahhh

That is hilarious and awesome! I wish I could have been there! Once, in Japanese, a classmate was trying to describe an elephant as 'big.' He ended up saying there was big rape. This sort of thing also reminds me of German with night vs. naked, lol.

#12 - On 03/04/2009 at 5:26pm by Amkii

win
and lol @ 11. someone in my spanish class used "embarazada" for "embarassed" once. :P

#13 - On 03/04/2009 at 5:32pm by interventions

haha thats not even embarrasing thats just funny, that should be how we kill people in the united states

#14 - On 03/04/2009 at 5:32pm by fatpeople

I'm spanish. I think that's funny haha

#16 - On 03/04/2009 at 5:57pm by automaticz

g/r

#17 - On 03/04/2009 at 6:08pm by chieffanLJ27

best fml ever. hahah. im saying that in my spanish class tomorrow!

#18 - On 03/04/2009 at 6:14pm by texaslonghornsnc

:) When I was in Spanish class, my teacher was trying to explain to us the importance of using se as in "se vende, se habla." She told us a story of how she was in Mexico and wanted some eggs. She said, "Cuantos huevos tienes?" The man responded, "Tengo dos." It was really funny because she was one of those really strict, proper (kind of holier than thou) people, and you just know that she died of embarrassment.

And #11, that truly would be a pene de muerte.

#19 - On 03/04/2009 at 6:17pm by mariposa93

ahahaha - awesome :D

#20 - On 03/04/2009 at 6:21pm by nebbsen

Oh dear god im going to have nightmares about the penis of death.
yargh!

#21 - On 03/04/2009 at 6:25pm by amelinat

Hahah, oh jeez. If you didn't already know what that meant after you said it, I can only imagine who brought that to your attention. And how embarrasing that was. XD

#22 - On 03/04/2009 at 6:29pm by ilovemypinklife

hahahahahahahahahahahzahaha! freudian slip! whats on your mind ;)

#23 - On 03/04/2009 at 6:30pm by rachelforgot2

Oh my God. I can't stop laughing at that. Priceless. hahahahaha

#24 - On 03/04/2009 at 6:34pm by musicislife

Shouldn't it be El Pene? I would hate to think the penis is a feminine word. You should be let off the hook.

#25 - On 03/04/2009 at 6:46pm by YallNoobs

HAHAHAHAHA
wow thats amazing

#26 - On 03/04/2009 at 6:47pm by Vis4Vin

HAHAHAHAHA.

#27 - On 03/04/2009 at 6:49pm by atx

Not really FYL. But it definitely made me laugh!

#28 - On 03/04/2009 at 6:55pm by carriealana

I have a calculus teacher that every time he tries to say "equation" it comes out "erection" and he never knows why everyone is laughing

#29 - On 03/04/2009 at 6:59pm by joslemon

This reminds me of the AIDS pandemic...

#30 - On 03/04/2009 at 7:00pm by GreenCookies

Ha that reminds me of this one time, for a spanish project in which we had to design a fake conservation program for an animal species to "expand our vocabulary." My group and I came up with the idea for a "Save the Pókémon" campaign, and made a poster that said "Necesito coger todos!" for "Gotta catchem' all!"

We did the presentation and our teacher and a couple of students looked around awkwardly, before she came over to us and whispered "You guys know 'coger' means uh . . . to *screw* . . . right?"

#31 - On 03/04/2009 at 7:08pm by GreenOdonata

Coger doesn't mean screw.
Well,at least not where I live.
And yeah Spanish is our first language. Haha

#103 - On 08/07/2009 at 3:12pm by rebel_yell_tiny

Someone's been listening to Vio-Lence, I see.

#32 - On 03/04/2009 at 7:24pm by i_am_not_me

haahahaha lmao off at 31... "gotta screw em all!"
but this is more funny than embarrassing. im sure your teacher understood.

also the reason the OP said "la pene" is because they meant to say "la pena" which is feminine, so they didn't replace the la with el.

#33 - On 03/04/2009 at 7:30pm by finn

AAAAAAAAAAAH.


You are my hero! hahaha

#34 - On 03/04/2009 at 8:02pm by sillysleepyhead

thats fantastic, dude.

#35 - On 03/04/2009 at 8:09pm by whitey

haha, I think #31 sounds more hilarious than death penis. As a fluent spanish speaker, I think "La pene" would go unnoticed by most. However, Gotta screw them all- Pokemon. Hilarious!!

#36 - On 03/04/2009 at 8:14pm by Doesuff

LMFAO...penis of death,....

#37 - On 03/04/2009 at 8:21pm by yeahreally

lol #10, i'm very aware of that fact..that's why i used it as an example. :P

#38 - On 03/04/2009 at 8:41pm by jellybean17

Well I hope that la pene de muerte calls the day after, unlike some penes....

#39 - On 03/04/2009 at 8:48pm by Phoenixman13

durhhhh

#40 - On 03/04/2009 at 8:58pm by you7

hahahah my new facebook status!

#41 - On 03/04/2009 at 8:59pm by mcniff23

i just wanted to let you know that ive been having one of the worst nights ever and when i read this i laughed soo loud. thank you. <3

#42 - On 03/04/2009 at 9:26pm by awkwardmoments

Sounds like something I would have done in my Portuguese class

#43 - On 03/04/2009 at 9:41pm by FuzzMonkey09

if a girl named Jean went to mexico would her spanish name be Vaquero?

#44 - On 03/04/2009 at 9:54pm by you_not_me_OWNED

I did something similar once, I mixed up the words hug and pregnant so instead of saying "I want to hug you" I said "I want to impregnate you" lol

#45 - On 03/04/2009 at 10:01pm by rainesan

Once i called myself a leg sandwich.
the joys of foreign languages

#46 - On 03/04/2009 at 10:06pm by kcordie

haha on a spanish paper (im in spanish 2, im also a freshman) i meant to say excited, as in "emocionado," but i didn't feel like looking up the word so i had the bright idea to use spanglish (excitado)... so i basically wrote "he is sexually aroused when he is in school."

my teacher laughed so hard when we read them aloud in class that i thought she was going to pee her pants.

#47 - On 03/04/2009 at 10:22pm by pelicangirl123

Thats something that would've happened to me. Hahhh(:

#48 - On 03/04/2009 at 10:27pm by AlmostHuman123

EPIC.

#49 - On 03/04/2009 at 10:37pm by jayhawk63

That is great!!! Thanks for the giggle :)

#50 - On 03/04/2009 at 10:40pm by McLaughlane

I was a witness to this, our female spanish teacher just laughed and didnt bother correcting him......which made it even better

#51 - On 03/04/2009 at 10:42pm by toodaloo

That's pretty epic.

#52 - On 03/04/2009 at 10:58pm by oopsHAHA

S'okay. In French today I mixed up the words for slaves and levels. As opposed to saying there are many levels in the catholic church, I said there were many slaves in the catholic church. I go to catholic school!

#53 - On 03/04/2009 at 11:10pm by orkyd

Wear a rubber and you won't have to worry about that...

#54 - On 03/04/2009 at 11:14pm by alwaysalady

@12: my best language goof ups are all with Japanese. My favorite would have to be someone saying "let's go eat president bush" instead of "let's go see president bush". That and someone saying he was an airplane instead of sick...

#55 - On 03/04/2009 at 11:42pm by Taihen

i have another one. someone was saying that her father (as in chichi) has a beard. She ended up saying that her breasts have beards.

OP: omg I laughed so much at that one. FYL.

#99 - On 06/23/2009 at 9:44am by yuibo

Yo tengo un pene de muerte.

#56 - On 03/04/2009 at 11:56pm by jSOPURE

#55 - lol! Were you using a form of tabetemiru?

#57 - On 03/05/2009 at 1:57am by Amkii

I don't understand what the problem is here. This is awesome.

#58 - On 03/05/2009 at 2:46am by ephilation

You don't really deserve it, but I can't say your life is f*cked...maybe just kind of a bummer.

#59 - On 03/05/2009 at 3:16am by kibblesnbits1053

Oh MY!... the teacher would have laughed so much like i just did... "penis of death"... this is not a FML at all

#60 - On 03/05/2009 at 5:36am by KenMcGormick

i didnt know death had a pennis =/

#61 - On 03/05/2009 at 7:08am by yuyo

Haha, that's like the time my teacher told us that "sobre" meant "about" and venir meant "to come."

It turns out "sobrevenir" means to OVERCOME, but my friend Ria definitely raised her hand and told Mr. K it meant "to be about to come."

#62 - On 03/05/2009 at 8:35am by divinebovine

o that's just funny
hell some guys would like to have that too! :)

#63 - On 03/05/2009 at 10:07am by were_giraffe

Did you ever get the feeling that everyone's taking about you onilne...?

But no, that's hilarious, I'd totally have played it off like that's what you meant to say.

#64 - On 03/05/2009 at 12:16pm by Sure_Thing

hahahahahaha!!!!!! The penis of death! that's the funniest shit ever!! But I feel really bad for you! I would have loved to be the teacher though, that would've been funny. I would have just laughed it off. Because seriously I would'nt have been able to stop laughing. The penis of death... classic.

#65 - On 03/05/2009 at 1:35pm by WATCHxM3xDI3

In a bio class in hs, the 60 year old teacher meant to ask "where all the students are at?" b/c a bunch of them were late for reasons i forget, some sort of club thing or incident. What she actually said translated to "where are all the vaginas at?"

#66 - On 03/05/2009 at 2:25pm by Scotty_TG

DEATHPENIS!!! GO TO DMC!! GO TO DMC!! GO TO DMC!! GO TO DMC!!

#73 - On 03/06/2009 at 7:40am by ThaiHoak

maybe we SHOULD change the death penalty from whatever it is now to a meeting with the penis of death :)

#74 - On 03/06/2009 at 11:49am by themindflayer

If I remember Spanish class, it's that no one understands what you're saying except for the teacher. Made me smile though thanks.

#75 - On 03/06/2009 at 4:39pm by SpaceJockey1979

um hate to brake it to ya....but "pene" isn't word....in spanish.....D:
