Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was trying to convince my flatmate to agree to let me get us a kitten. After gushing about how cute they are, and showing her loads of pictures, she just stared at me and said, "You really need a penis inside you now and again." FML
Today, I had to explain to another person that my cat is not morbidly obese, he just looks really fat when he lays down. FML
Today, I had to explain to my boyfriend that me switching to "super" sized tampons does not mean I've been having sex with other men with bigger penises, and that my vagina hasn't been "stretched bigger". FML
Today, my cousin came to visit from America. While out shopping, she said loudly that she was having trouble finding clothes to fit around her huge fanny, causing a lot of people to stare in our direction. I had to explain to her that "fanny" in the UK means "vagina." FML
Today, I was explaining the inner parts of a vagina and how they work. To my boyfriend. FML
Today, I took my cat to the vet. The creepy vet looked me in the eyes and said, "This isn't the only pussy I'll be checking out today." FML
Today, I, a 33 year-old guy, had to explain to my 27 year-old girlfriend that she does NOT pee out of her vaginal opening, but does in fact have a separate hole she pees from. She didn’t believe me. After showing her a diagram of the female anatomy online, she said, “Yeah well I don’t have one of those.” FML
Today, I was in bar and got talking to a guy next to me, who turned out to be American, which is quite exotic in my part of the UK. During the conversation, he mentioned being a vet, so I went on a long tangent about my cat's diarrhoea and asked him for advice. He let me babble on for ages before smiling and saying, "Not that kind of vet." FML
Today, my girlfriend and I were getting frisky. She got my cock out, stopped, and told me it looked like "Rufus the naked mole rat." She spent the next 20 minutes showing me pictures, describing in detail why they looked similar, and laughing. FML
Today, my mom insists on leaving both the front and kitchen door open in case the cat comes home, no matter if it gets cold inside. Yes, the cat is that important. Yes, he also has a cat flap. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Huh.....that actually sounds like it should be a euphemism.....I mean i'm glad it isn't because we have WAY to many euphemisms for that but i'm kinda surprised that isn't one of them

We can never have too many euphemisms.

Doncha just love English? Almost anything can be used in a sexual euphemism! You know what? No. EVERYTHING can be used as a sexual euphemism! Yeah!

I just like that the word euphemism was correctly used here.

No, that would be your pussy portal.

That's even better than cat flap. You actually made me laugh out loud from this comment. I now want to use pussy portal in every conversation I have.

What is a cat flap?

As of now, a ******. Thanks to OP's Romanian colleague. ;)

I would normally redirect you to this wonderful thing called Google, but I'm feeling generous. A cat flap is another term for pet door.

I've never heard a pet door been referred to as a "cat flap."
DoomSkuller 28
I've heard it called a dog flap I guess cat flap isn't far from that

It is the technical term for the ****** Flaps

Anything is a euphemism if you try hard enough.
