Today, I overheard a conversation two of my friends were having about Homer, so I interjected with a quip about a Simpson's episode I had seen before. They were talking about the poet. I'm an AP literature student. FML

Today, at my mum’s birthday dinner, my brother-in-law used a Latin phrase in the wrong way. Since we all have learned Latin, I taught him the correct way until everyone facepalmed in my direction. He made a rather nice wordplay and now I’m known as the educated idiot who is too stupid to understand a simple joke. FML

This is why I can't stand people who feel the need to interject into others' conversations. Mind your business.

How is this FYL? You mistook what your friends were talking about? Big deal Oh know! your life is ruined and AP Lit is what idiots take who want to seem smart but can't handle AP Language and Comp.

At my school, you're supposed to take AP Lang. the year before you take AP Lit. Weird.

This is the lamest FML ever. Oh, you're in an AP class! Clearly you're a ******* prodigy. Jesus Christ, so dumb.

I'm an English lit major, but I think my mind might still go to the Simspon Homer first just because he's such a pop culture icon, and you don't really expect to hear people talk about a poet in everyday conversation... but I agree with #7 that you should have known from context what they were talking about, unless you heard the name Homer and nothing else and immediately had to add your two cents, in which case you're a dumbass.

We don't really know the situation though. They could be just hanging out, or at school. Moral of the story, stay out of other people's conversations; unless invited.

That's not even an FML, That's just a little misunderstanding. Also, AP Lit is nothing.

You need new friends. Simpson is by far the greater Homer.
