Today, I learned the meaning behind the phrase, "Love you long time". It's from the movie Full Metal Jacket, when a hooker comes in and says, "Me so horny, me love you long time." I've been saying this to my parents and people at school, having no idea what it really means for over 2 weeks. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I listened to a recording of a woman saying, "I love you" for about 30 mins straight. That's apparently the only way I can feel loved. FML
Today, I finally had a man say, "I love you" to me in a sincere tone. It was a customer, who was high, over the phone. I said it back. FML
Today, I treated myself to an hour long massage. Halfway through, I mumbled, “Thank you” to the masseuse and, without thinking, added, “I love you.” There was a long pause. Then she patted my head and whispered, “You’re welcome.” FML
Today, I told my long time crush, "I love you," in an elaborate way. She replied, "What an interesting perspective." FML
Today, I told my best friend that there was a time that I loved her, then told her it was today, yesterday, last week, last month, last year, and listed several years before that, etc. Her response? "Wow, I can't believe we've known each other that long." FML
Today, I realized that when my boyfriend said, "I'll love you forever" what he really meant was, "I'll love you until I meet your significantly more attractive sister." FML
Today, I was on the phone with my best guy friend, who I have loved for years. I was talking about school and all of a sudden he said, "I love you." I flipped out saying, "Oh my god, oh my god. I love you too!" He responded with, "What?" He was talking to his mom, who was walking out the door. FML
Today, I told my mom, "I love you". She responded with, "What? I never told you I loved you." FML
Today, I was texting a girl that I've liked for some time. When I asked her what she was doing, she replied "texting and p.s. I love you". I replied by telling her my feelings for her. Turns out "p.s. I love you" was the name of the movie she was watching with her friends. FML
Today, I accidentally said, "Bye, love you," to a co-worker as I clocked out. Before I made it home, I had six missed calls and a long text from my co-worker professing her love to me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe you'll find some new "friends"

I don't think OP will lose their friends over it. They probably have learned to Google a phrase before they go around saying it to everyone, though.

Well if no one said anything to you about it, I doubt they know - so you're good. But definitely make sure you know what you're saying next time you decide to pick up a new phrase or word

It's full metal jacket. They probably knew and thought it was funny so didn't say anything.

You should know the meaning of the phrase before using it in public or with your family. With that said YDI. Just know for the future, see if there is any other meaning for the phrase (or even word), this avoids embarrassment.

We were all 12 once . Actually , I still say that phrase now. Like a fine wine , it gets better with age.

That's sucks and is pretty embarrassing, but I can't help but think you deserve this for using the phrase without knowing, or at least looking up, where it actually came from. Using something without knowing its origin can get you in trouble sometimes.
