WTF? there's no such thing fir bfs and gfs!?
Okay..this is dumb Just because you don't understand another countries slang or even language doesn't mean you are dumb. I had to read over it a second time. However it is dumb to say to kick Non-Americans off just because you can't understand. But yeah I didn't fully understand what a broiler Cover was until I looked at some comments it doesn't make me dumb..I am just not aware of some variations of English...
lol i have never heard the work "skint" or the term "boiler cover" it wasn't that defficult to figure it out....at least i thought it was pretty easy
Any non-English person who could not figure it out, and then comments about how stupid the English slang is, is an idiot. The people of the world are not required to change how they speak just because you don't like the phrase "boiler cover" or understand what it means. (That goes the other way, too) You are, however, exempt from idiocy if you looked up/asked politely what the words/phrases meant. That is all.
speak american english dude i cant understand your words at all.
Yes because "American" is a language.
oh. my. god. are you all really that dumb? it's not difficult to work out what this person is saying. why complain about it. and stop calling us 'brits' there is more to britain than just england you know. or are you too dumb to work that out? english comes from england so stop acting as though it's your language. you use loads of made up words instead of proper english. like dapier, vacation, sidewalk, sneakers, automobile, fries, etc but we don't make a fuss. and isnt it obvious why they are crisps? becuase they are crispy. and no we won't speak american english because it is our language. why even if you don't understand, don't complain about it. you must be a real idiot not to know what rang or moved out means.
if you brits ate so superior why do you have such bad teeth including the royals ? maybe the gaps in the teeth and plaque on the gums cause the wierd accent.
agreed
The level of pure ignorance is making my brain ache. Dear Ignorant Americans, You're all ******* stupid, maybe if you thought for a moment that there is a world outside of your shitty country then maybe you wouldn't all be stupid enough to not understand British words. We don't use 'Euros', I mean what the **** do they teach you! Oh... Wait yeah they teach you about how great America is don't they! Geeze I forgot. So yeah ignorance seriously isn't bliss it would appear. Its a ******* whirlwind brain ache for us with more than half a brain. I swear the next FML I send in is going to be so packed with British slang that its going to blow your ******* tiny minds. Just wait. @Ladiesman14: Oh, and there isn't such a thing as speaking 'American English', 'American English' applies to spelling of words in America. And nice stereotyping dumbfuck, most peoples teeth are perfectly fine in Britain, we just don't have 'Dental Plans'. You talk about it as if no one in your country has bad teeth, and for sure they do. Oh and yeah @Stridercrab: Get your head out of your arse. ****.
Complaining about stereotyping WHILE stereotyping? That takes some skill.
I'm sorry but really I may be from America but i have to agree some Americans are very ignorant. Or dumb. Because this really isn't that difficult to understand. In fact I read books with more British slang in them than this when I was 14 and understood just fine. So learn how to use context clues people and to figure out that boilers are what heat your house and they use gas! not that difficult and have you never heard someone say skint? It really isn't that impossible.

I'll translate for you, #2. Clearly you don't understand English. I'll try Ebonics. Today, I holla'd at my gas company to cancel my plan, cuz I'm broke as ****. I told her my baby momma was leavin' me, bouncing up outta my crib, I ain't gettin no mo' chedda from my job and I got nothin' in the bank. She was all sad for me and shit, and she said, "Yo, how you wanna pay yo damn cancellation fee?" FML.
There is more British jargon in this fml alone than I have heard in the last year
