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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my boyfriend and I got into a huge fight. What was it over? He accused me of pronouncing MY name wrong. 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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Vapid - adj. Dull or flat, lacking substance. It's a fairly good word to describe most ignorant people and popular culture today. Thankfully ignorance can be cured.

Time to look for a new boyfriend. One with a higher IQ then his shoe size.

Choose your boyfriends more wisely next time OP. If rudimentary intelligence is important to you, that is.

It means it dull if you want a simple definition

I knew what it meant but who even uses vapid in a sentence? Unless you're Amish or something. A guy that used to work with me said "rarely used terms" and pronunciate words just to piss customers off.

I'd be more cross about the fake Transylvanian accent!

You really know how to choose them. The internet has plenty of information I'm not sure why he couldn't have looked it up.

I had something similar happen. I was casually dating this guy and I used the word "touché". He looked at me weird and said, rather incredulously, "Why are you calling me touchy?" He was really hot, but damn, that leaked some serious stupid.

Did you pronounce it correctly? (too-shay)

Well here is another FML where I'm kinda with the OP yet still sympathetic to her bf. I had a friend who was married and her husband was much more intelligent than she was. So during arguments he would intentionally use words she wouldn't understand to put her down. Needless to say that marriage didn't last to long.

Ahh. That special feeling of having conversations in crayon with people.
