Today, I found out that all the everyday Spanish words and phrases my boyfriend has been teaching me have very vulgar meanings. I found this out after I said a few to our waitress. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I showed up at my boyfriend's work to surprise him by speaking in Spanish, his first language. I've been taking classes secretly. He smiled, kissed me, and then finished telling his friend, in Spanish, that I'm boring and ugly but he's got nothing better going on. FML
Today, I taught my girlfriend some French. She then used her newfound language to break up with me. FML
Today, I introduced my mother to my new girlfriend. My mom made a very nasty comment about her in Spanish, not realizing that my girlfriend teaches Spanish at the local school. FML
Today, my French teacher set up a role-play scenario to act out in front of the class. During one of my lines, I mispronounced a phrase and called my teacher sexy. FML
Today, I was at my favorite Mexican restaurant when I realized my really cute waiter, along with his buddies kept looking at me and smiling. Trying to be cool, I took a bite of my burrito, choked, and spilled ground beef down my new shirt and in my bra. They laughed the whole time. FML
Today, while working at Subway I joked with a customer asking him if he was going to order in Spanish. The women in front of him began yelling about how I was being racist and told my manager that I needed to be fired. The customer I was joking with was my Spanish teacher. FML
Today, while on a vacation, I tried to step out of myself and flirt with this boy who I thought was cute. He was going along with it and nodding so I thought it was working. Then he opened his mouth and I realized he didn't speak English. FML
Today, I discovered the terrible things my parents say about my wife while visiting them. They speak in Arabic around us and I've never really been able to understand them. Guess who hasn't only brushed up on his Arabic, but spent the last 6 months teaching his wife… FML
Today, I called my boyfriend during his lunch break. He started to place his order at a fast food joint, and trying to be funny, I started moaning sexily after each part of his order. I eventually realised I was on speaker when I heard snickering in the background. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went to taste some wine with some friends. I drank a little too much and referred to him as my brother to a random guy. Let’s just say I put a strain on my relationship. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

typical guy but YDI for being so gullible

There's nice guys. That's NOT a typical guy.

Typical guy? What, a typical guy (in your vastly admirable opinion) is a complete asshole? I'd like to disprove your point by saying "**** you", but that would prove your point. So instead, I'll just point out that someone isn't gullible because she believes something her boyfriend told her. There's a big difference between gullible and trusting.

I'm guessing you were told that you Kanji tattoo means "strength/beauty/etc", when in reality it says "****/heathen/etc". Oh well, at least now you'll learn to Google translate before you go spouting off a language you don't understand to strangers...well, maybe.

23- And that, my good friend, is the whole point of the joke.

Maybe next time you should put his translations onto Google translate to make sure it's at least close to what he said the translation really is.

^ La tu ya whey.
DocBastard 40
What the hell does "la tu ya whey" mean? "Your whey?" Why the hell are you talking about your mixture of globular proteins in Spanish? Am I missing something here?
EnEl_Infierno 15
Lol its Spanish slang, the best way I can traslate it, La tu ya, means, back at you, and whey well... the closest word I can think of is ass, but in its context it range from between joking to be rather really insulting.

Guey.
mrahhhhh 21
Don't listen to anyone else in this thread, except for the Bastard and Garcia. Their Spanish sucks. I may be a notch or two below fluency in Spanish, but trust me when I say that these people don't know what the **** they're saying. That is, except for the ol' dirty Bastard here, and Garcia of course.

Ok, look at it this way, two girl firends talking, one calls the other one, *****. The other one response is, your mother, their just messing around. Thats the context here. Now if the girls weren't friends... well now you get the idea. And 67 it depends on region and type of spanish that is being used, I've also it seen spelled buey.
mrahhhhh 21
And 22 is trying to say "Suck my dick", but he ****** up so he actually said "Sucked my dick". And 46 tried to say "Yours, foo" or "Yours, man". "Whey", or rather "guey" (there's supposed to be an umlaut above the "u" in "guey" and "umlaut", but I don't know how to do that shit), means something akin to "man" or "foo" (the slang usage, i.e. "whattup, foo?") in Spanish. 46 also made a bunch more errors, so many I won't even try to correct them .
mrahhhhh 21
#70 I didn't know that it can also be spelled that way, thanks for the info. Also, thanks for giving the info on how the tone can also affect the meaning behind the words in this case. EDIT: I'm 69 but i saw 70s comment! I can see the future! Or FML is doing that comment glitch thing again.
EnEl_Infierno 15
mrahhhhh I think the numbers are ******* up, and I didn't even notice that 22 ****** it up lol, and also the words can change in spanish slang to, like dog, dawg, and I don't know how put umlats with my phone either.
drawmesunshine 17
I've also seen it spelled 'wey.'

It's guey and it's slang for two timer or cheater.
Sinkhole 26
Yes, it can be 'güey', 'huey', 'wey'... anything that sounds like 'buey', which is the original term. However, EnEl_Infierno, in your first comment you were literally saying "the you already". For future reference, it should be "la tuya".
drawmesunshine 17
Güey, huey, wey, whey, weigh, or way.
EnEl_Infierno 15
^Se te olvidó, buey. A la chingada, sólo debería dicho cual pito, pendejo. That probably would of been funnier. Phfft.

You didn't think to look the phrases up before saying them?

Your boyfriend thought it was pretty funny to get you to order the Cocks and Balls. The joke is on him when three guys come walking out with no pants and their erections at eye level.
