Today, I went to a wake. When my dad picked me up, I was still pretty upset. Just when I'd had enough of death, the car hits a raccoon on the way home. FML

A wake is a gathering some cultures have each night between the death of a person and their funeral. It's where family and friends visit the bereaved to support and assist for funeral preparations.

36- regardless, I'm sure the sight of a pancake raccoon isn't pleasant, which obviously made OP feel worse.

Please don't badger me for my efforts, with unpheasant comments about roadkill. You will be outfoxed.

Well it's a good thing you don't know what it is, you probably haven't had much deaths in your family.

How is this stupidity? Even if you look at dictionary.com, it's not the first definition there. Granted, you'll find it eventually if you read all the definitions. Just because someone's not familiar with english doesn't mean they're stupid.

A wake, at least in Australia, is a gathering held after the funeral. The funeral is the time for mourning, the wake is the time to share memories and celebrate the deceased's life over some food and drinks.
