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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

On behalf of FML commenters, please thank your Romanian colleague for giving us this delightful new euphemism. Cat flap. Heh heh.

It certainly is one now.

And, after looking on Urban Dictionary, cat flap has been referring to a ****** since at least 2008. Who knew!?

What's the relevance in the fact that he's Romanian?

#19 I believe that specifying the nationality of the person is less ignorant than just saying "foreign".

19- The fact that s/he is foreign makes it understandable that s/he doesn't understand some English. It's very relevant...

Perhaps by suggesting English was not the colleague's first language, so he/she was unfamiliar with English/American idioms and slang.

Were skunks sneaking into your cat flap at night? Personally, I have had that happen to me before.

So what's skunks a euphemism for?

Go... On...

Oh yes, us Romanians make everything into a euphemism. it's a blessing...

My niece wanted to see hairless cats, so she googled "bald kitties"...I guess that's another euphamism for vaginas.
