Today, while talking to my boyfriend, he got upset and accused me of making up words to make him feel stupid. All because I used the word "vapid." FML

Today, my boyfriend and I got into an argument; however, his new-found passion for hardcore rapping meant that he tried to "diss" me using bad rhymes and ill thought-out putdowns. It was ridiculous, and didn't really make any sense, so I started giggling. He stormed off, grumbling. FML

Communication breakdown

Today, I tried to tell my boyfriend how I have been feeling recently in our relationship. He lashed out at me, saying I was just accusing him of being the bad guy. I guess I'll never express my feelings ever again. FML

Today, my boyfriend accused me of making an FML about him. I let him know that if I were going to make an FML, it would be about how he doesn’t flush the toilet after he uses it. He responded by not flushing the toilet again this morning. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were at a restaurant with a few other couples, and my boyfriend started to rant on how "all the hot chicks are dumb." Apparently, I'm either ugly or stupid. FML

Today, I yet again had to pretend to be a dumb bimbo so that my boyfriend wouldn't get upset over the fact that, in some cases, I might be smarter than him. FML

Today, my dad accused me of being illiterate when I used a word he'd never heard of, saying it sounded like lazy slang, and that it wasn't a real word. He then yelled at me for being a "smartass who's always right" when I read aloud the definition from his 1978 copy of Webster's dictionary. Guess he's not enthused. FML

Today, my boyfriend dumped me by throwing my stuff out of his place, and accusing me of cheating while yelling, "Cheater, cheater! Pumpkin eater!" When I tried explaining that I have no clue what he's talking about, he started exclaiming, "Liar, liar! Pants on fire!" FML

Today, my girlfriend confronted me for forgetting to take the trash out. At some point during the argument, I tried to calm her down, and the words "I should of" escaped my lips. She spent the next ten minutes calling me stupid and laughing at how my grammar goes to hell when I'm distressed. FML

Today, I had a massive argument with my boyfriend, in which he called me stupid repeatedly. I stomped out of his house and sent a very angry text to my best friend about him. She didn't text back. Then my boyfriend texted, "My girlfriend is so stupid, she can't even text the right number." FML

I fear the English Language is dying. As case in point, I used the word 'Crux' in a sentence before and I spent more time convincing the person I was speaking to that it wasn't made up. In the end I had to physically bring out a dictionary and show them the word. For those of you who don't know: The word means 'The basic, central or critical point or feature.' Vapid: 'Nothing stimulating or challenging.'

"Sweetie, I don't need to make up words to make you feel stupid. You already are stupid."

I can't be the only one that read this comment in Red's voice... Or can I?

No, everybody reads my comments in Red's voice.

From your picture, you look like you can't be more than 13. So I guess it makes sense that your vocabulary is limited right now.

I'm a little astonished, surprised, stunned, dumbfounded, flabbergasted, startled, thunderstruck, and stupefied that so many people here don't know the word "vapid".

Anyone who reads a lot has probably come across "vapid" a number of times. I'm not saying that those people who don't recognize the word are stupid, nonreaders, just saying I've seen it many times in my boring life.

true true. you'd think that with technology simplifying the consumption of information it'd be easy to come across/look up the word. O:

Thanks for the synonyms. I'm sure it was for the benefit of the illiterate masses (ie most of the people who posted a comment here). As a doc, are you not told to explain everything to patients as if you were speaking to an elementary school student? See above for the reason why you do so. Lol.
