um..... waiting for the punchline lol

That's weird. I was moderating the fml's yesterday and I saw one VERY similar to this. The same wording for the most part, and they spelt check the same way. o.o

YDI for playing the "dead father" card....

This is shocking, and i find it funny all the Americans who are too dense to understand this. I hope that you and your mum overcome this!

what is a cheque?

it's a check. only British. (x2 cooler)

op is from Australia

Look at where he's from.....

It's called English for a reason - 'mum' and 'cheque' = British-English.

Um... 'cheque' and 'check' are two totally different words...

In Australia we spell it "Cheque". In Australia, we also know people from other parts of the world spell words differently.

#3 FYL for being a stupid American

F your life for making Americans look stupid and ignorant. thanks.

Ignorance is lack of knowledge. I already knew that people from Australia and the UK spelled it as cheque and said "mum". They also say "bloke" and "mate".

Check and Mom are both bastardizations of English's cheque and Mum. You're a stereotypical stupid yank. GTFO

not neccessarily, pnly most of the white people do (yes, jab at immigration policies, educational loopholes etc)

Wtf are you talking about, mr_mick?

Why is it relevant that British people say 'bloke' and 'mate'?

Bastardizations? -_- Ever heard of not being a jerk

FYL for being an ignorant xenocentrist. FYI I'm also American. Thanks for representing us.

American English is retarded, that is all.

Did you now? Really?

Did you now? Really?

You run a escort service or what? :)

Yep. I'm Madam Intoxicunt, and she can have her own lesser nickname. Actually, I was thinking of paying her for her services, but that works too. If I'm the "pimp" I get her profits plus free sex. Whoo!

Actually he was the one paying the mortgage on his house, not his Mother. All that woman did was waste all his money at the Casino.

I think he lives with his mother, and his mother said she was going to the bank or out to do some errands, so he gave his mother the cheque, not realizing she wouldn't ever take it there.

lol. I already knew that.. What's your point?

he is actually from AUSTRALIA which is not in the UK or Europe but yes i agree learn culture (Y)

but then everyone bitches that it's not really an FML

your the dumbfuck who thought it was compulsory to spell mum as 'mom' and cheque as 'check. -.-

You're the dumb fuck who thinks "your" and "you are" mean the same thing.

In the Midwest, we say "pop". People on the coasts of America say "soda". And our way of talking is superior to all you assholes on the coast.

"Y'all" is Southern Dialect and/or Ebonics. I'm a whiteboy from the Midwest so I'm not sure what "y’all" has to do with anything. As for "sucker," that's street slang. "Pop" is just what soft drinks are called. Plain and simple. If you go to a pizza place (a REAL pizza place - outside of Chicago, you guys don't know shit about pizza) and look at the menu is says POP not "so-duh!". If you go to a grocery store around here, you look for the POP aisle. Face it. "So-duh" sounds fucking stupid. Hello kettle, the pot called and you're black..

**Outside of Chicago and its surrounding suburbs, you guys don't know shit about real pizza. And that was a comment for #38 by the way.

actuals, canadians say pop too.

I shake hands with you Canadian..

Apparently you're superior because you use the word "pop" instead of "soda". Wow. The word soda comes from Sodium Bicarbonate, a prominent ingredient in carbonated drinks. The More You Know!*

The President of the United States says “pop” instead of “so-duh”.

Why not just say the name of the drink... most of the people i know (i live in australia) just say like 'coke' or 'sprite' or whatever. Or you can say soft drink. I don't know where that comes from though

#77, That's cause he's the president of the UNITED STATES, you dumb fuck. That explains why he'd speak American English. The more you comment, the more you perpetuate the notion that so many (not all) of you Americans are delusioned with the idea that you're superior to everyone else. Hey guess what? Fuck you. yours is the country that's fighting to prevent a economic default. Superior my ass. Go learn some respect. And maybe some history- American English was derived from British English. Your English is the bastard child of Brit English.

Also, you don't know shit about pizza. Pizza comes from Italy. Fucking idiot.

One last thing: I find it hilarious that you keep criticizing the most minor of grammatical mistakes made by other people, and then decide to 'shake hands' with the guy who thinks 'actuals,' is a proper conjunction adverb. Good job (:

I know, right? It took you three months to notice your check didn't clear?

Obviously if his mother gambled the check away, it did clear. If it didn't clear, he'd still have the money.
