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

Well, I can at least confirm it doesn't mean the same thing in every language. In Spanish the word is used almost exclusively to indicate sexual arousement.

Loool... I had the same conversation with an american friend and another friend from Paris... I am from Marseille and for me it doesn't necessarily mean "I am horny" but for my friend from Paris yes... maybe it depends a little bit where you are in France. For me it means "I am horny", "I am excited" or "I am long to/impatient" and finally "agitated" (for kids..."arrete de t'exciter!!!" or "Il est excité c'est pas possible!")... #132 you're right I am living in Italy right now and It rocks! ;)

Haha, this is hilarious! Nothing FML about this really. It's a little embarassing, but you're not a native speaker and they know and don't blame you. It's just funny so take it easy. :)

nerdking21, wow I did not realize that Algeria has taken the role right behind Hait in French accomplishments with former territories and colonies... thanks for pointing that out. As far as the internal fighting... remember when the country was on fire from looters and the likes for a whole month... really a month.. Military strength is not the concern, stability is as well as protecting its citizens, how did France whether with za germans running the place again? marie_gal98 how can u argue with retarded people if they wont even realize your right... let try, well marie, it seems to me that you are missing some chapters in history, lets fill them in.. you would think you would get the obvious one of the war of independence, but after that lets think 1812, our "assisstance" with the independence of Panama, Grenada to name a few. But of course you have had soo much leftist hot air shot up your ass you wouldnt think to open a book and check for yourself. --An argument you may have is that those were not wars, well you would be right, there was no official decleration from the senate.. but then again your examples would not count as a loss either. Sanwi I agree with you on health care but guantanimo not so much, these people do not have the same protections as lets say a French legionare, the protections from the geneva convention only cover uniformed combatants, otherwise at best they would be classiffied as spies and well countries have the right to hang those people. Besides, the debos in lock up there are getting better treatment than most people around the world. We should probably take a page from your history book on how to run a prison. conclusion, I do not have a problem with the individual, just the country, it has single-handedly distroyed the purpose of the UN

I did not mean that the occupation of Haiti is less important than the occupation of Algeria. My grandmother was born in Algeria during the French colonization, therefore I know more of it than Haiti. Also, I know that the revolution was chaos, because Mémé can not stand any banging noises cause it reminds her of it. Also, France has not thumbed their noses at the UN, it was us. Any member of the UN is not allowed to invade another country without permission from the UN. We never had permission to invade Iraq. Just thought I help fill in the blanks.

Hahaha, my french teacher told us to be careful with that. But it's okay because she told her host family in mexico that she was pregnant. (she thought she was saying embarrased )
