Today, I spent over 20 minutes trying to convince my daughter that the word she was trying to use was "Back-pack" and not "Back-back". I never convinced her. She is 16 years old. FML
peonypiney tells us more.
This is my FML. YES, she is extremely blonde and believe it or not, a straight A student. I have never noticed she said it that way before until she had it written down. I've never caught it because we usually say "Book Bag". Her older brother finally convinced her through mockery and laughter.

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I hope that's a "Modern Family" reference.

No, it wasn't. I was in my 20's when I realized that it was a "dog eat dog world." I won five bucks from my friend who bet that the phrase that he thought was "to get your goad" was actually "to get your goat." People mishear things all the time.

Oh really? They just made a joke about that last week for the Halloween episode with Sofia Vergara's character not being able to understand things with her accent.

Funny thing is, "get your goad" actually makes a lot more sense. Goad being a term for a cattle-driving prod (electrical or otherwise), that IS something you might retrieve when something is really peeving you. I'm not sure how bothering someone grants you ownership of their goat, conversely.

Haha, my 6 year old son says Pack-Pack. I guess I better start drilling it into him now before he hits 16.

Thanks for the followup. Gotta ask as I often do, though: Why do people in these situations never turn to the internet for a second opinion? If a quick, simple search on places like Wikipedia or Google doesn't provide compelling enough evidence.... Granted, that's not always convenient, depending on where the argument occurs.

How old is her brother and is he single? Because I'd do the exact same thing.
