This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff
Australia
How do I put it?
Today, my daughter asked me how to spell "Orange". "O-R-A-N-G-E," I replied. Without missing a beat, she says, "No, I mean the colour, not the fruit." She's 16. FML

FYL, she's kinda stupid if she can't consider by herself that the color and the fruit are the same word, the color's name obviously coming from the fruit's name ...

Or the fruits name obviously coming from the colors name

Indeed, yes.

The fruits name actual comes from the colors name...

Actually, #16 is right, the color's name came from the fruit's. Think about it, if it were the other way around, then why do we have "carrots"? Before the orange was introduced to Europe, people would refer to the color as "red-yellow" or something like that. Fun stuff! :)

That's just took far thinking for me haha ;)

120, I don't know, I was saying this at random, I never really thought about it. Maybe the fruit comes from the color after all, because it's something new, not like carrots, and they didn't know how to call it and they just started to refer to it as 'the orange fruit' and it became 'orange'. 172, you should be buried just because of your picture. Just sayin'.

-That one there, that's Karen Smith. She is one of the dumbest girls you will ever meet. Damien sat next to her in English last year. -She asked me how to spell orange.

The fact that you spelt "******'" incorrectly makes you no smarter than she is, dumbass.

I'm not a man. Her eyes were not closed, she was blindfolded. Get it right, jeez.

Your brain has shut off one too many ties, hasn't it?

Sometimes when your brain shuts off, you can't switch it back on... On the other hand, some people's brains came with a broken on switch.. I suspect that the OP's daughter is one of these.

You should have taught her better.

I gave you a thumbs up for saying "should have." My biggest pet peeve as of late is when people say "should of." how does "should of" make any logical sense? Are we going to stat where should is from? "Yes, that is should, of Taught."

Oh I've been to Taught!! It's a rather boring place, and the land is so chalky!! >.<
