Today, I discovered that the word 'randy' means 'horny' in England. I'm going to England next semester to study abroad. My name is Randy. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a tourist from an English-as-second-language country taught me a new word. In English. FML
Today, I found out that while on foreign exchange for over six months now, I have been pronouncing the word for "night" in German wrong. Apparently, this whole time, the way that I have been pronouncing it in German means "naked". This explains a lot. FML
Today, in class, I asked my teacher for a "rubber". I didn't realise that in America "rubber" doesn't mean "eraser", it means condom. FML
Today, I was verbally abused by a tourist because neither I nor anyone else in my country can speak "proper English". We're in England - clue's in the name, dipshit. FML
Today, I "woofed" at a man on a gay dating site before realizing he's my Psych professor. Now during every lecture I'll never forget his nipples are pierced. FML
Today, I'm travelling to England for an important meeting. I'm Norwegian, and my name is Bård. I have to introduce myself as "bored" the whole day, because that's how my name is pronounced. FML
Today, I realized that in French, my name means "penis." This wouldn't be so bad if my dad wasn't fluent in French. FML
Today, I am a Frenchie who's been in England for two months. While wanting to say to my technician that my manager made me groan during our meeting, I said that he made me moan. Now he keeps looking at me with a grin on his face. FML
Today, I learned that my parents' nickname for my fiancé is "dickwad." FML
Today, I discovered that my cool, unique first name translates to "unwanted" in Hindi. Both my parents studied abroad in India for five years. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

We aren't retarded. We use the word horny a lot more. Randy is a dying word over here.

When I was in England, the name Lou seemed to be very popular. It has a little tinkle to it.

Go by Rand. It's not super uncommon, and it doesn't rhyme with candy or mean horny. Everyone wins.

I see slaps, miming, and Really good sex with rebound women in your future Also, the English aren't stupid. I doubt they'd miss understand "hi, I'm Randy, what's your name?"

Wow, so many people saying OP should just go by Randolph or other male names. OP is a girl, so I think it would be pretty weird to go by Randolph! Btw, I know females called Randy or Randi, so I don't really see the problem. Never met a man called Randy. I guess it all depends on where people are from. Like in my country, Kim is a very common male's name, but not many girls are called Kim. Same with Renee.

Sounds like a stripper name, or maybe an ice cream flavor, but I'm too lazy to google.
