Today, I learned that "Je suis excité" does not mean "I'm excited" in French. It means "I'm sexually excited"... more or less. I've been doing a lot of exciting things and using it a lot the past two weeks. With my French friends, people I meet, and especially with my host family. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I'm in Spain, and told the kids with whom I will be working that I was excited to be working with them. Only the form of excitement I used apparently refers to sexual excitement. Basically, I told the kids I was sexually aroused to be working with them. 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 tried to impress a French student by saying “Bonjour!” but instead said “Bordel!” which means “Brothel.” She laughed, and so did every one of the french students around us. My cultural street cred is officially dead. 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 realised the only preparation I've done for my final French exam has been wanking off to French porn. FML
Today, my girlfriend, who recently started French classes, and I were having sex. Knowing how whispering in my ear turns me on, she whispered something in French, and I came. Later I found out it meant something like, "You should lose a lot of weight." FML
Today, whilst reading all 15 pages of this site, my French girlfriend asked me over my shoulder for translations, such as "What is buttsex?", "What is wanking?", and "What means farted?" 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 spent my first night with my English boyfriend. I'm French, and when we woke up, I said in my most sexy voice, "Oh, I'm so dirty!" It's only when he left that I finally understood the look on his face; I wanted to have a glass of water. I was thirsty, not dirty. FML
Today, I had a presentation in French class. I was so nervous, the first thing I said when I got up there was, "Hola." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Don't worry... I'm a native French speaker, and "je suis excité" isn't that bad and can be used with non-sexual things as well

Umm.. it doesn't mean sexually excited, but whatever. It depends on the circumstances kind of like anything else. A better word is in fact "hâte", but people won't think you're too weird for saying "excité". Not that big of a deal.

First of all, "je suis excité" doesn't mean you are sexually excited. It meant exactly what you thought it meant. I'm a french canadian, I would know. What kind of douche told you that?

I do agree that french from Quebec and from France do have differences...I'm reading Twilight in french, and it was translated in France and I agree that I would not have the same expressions as them (I'm from Quebec)...but that being said, usually verb tenses mean the exact same thing in both, because they are not expressions, they are the basis of the french language! just a thought :)

I'm a native french speaker from Montreal, Quebec...and we use ''J'suis excité!'' all the time for instance, if you're excited for an event, or if your favourite band is coming to the city, or if you're a crazy Twilight fan you can easily say ''Je suis tellement excité pour le film'' and such! don't worry, you didn't look like an ass :)
