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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

YDI for using a phrase without knowing the origin
yerawizardlizzy 27
So you know the origin of every phrase you use? Wow, that's impressive.

Ones that are awkwardly worded and obviously a reference to something, yes.

You should keep saying it

My Asian friend says that to me but she knows the source and we know it's a joke lol. Sorry about your luck.

Why would you reference ANYTHING that you didn't know the origin of. YDI!!!
yerawizardlizzy 27
He didn't know it was a reference.

Don't worry, you didn't say the phrase "me love you long time" from the movie. You said "love you long time", that is a song by the Black Eye Peas. You're okay.

Don't feel bad. A lot of people say it, even if they don't know where it's from.

At least you aren't going around saying "Born to Kill."

Besides having sexual connotations, that quote is also a racist caricature of Vietnamese women. So just FYI, it's not actually appropriate to say in any context. Everyone makes mistakes, but maybe next time you hear something that sounds like broken or pidgin English you should check its origins before you repeat it.

Or you could stop being such a douche and understand the comedy behind it,

Why are people ragging on this comment? It's good advice- just like if a quote is in obvious ebonics or any distinct linguistic style, and is heard from someone who doesn't normally speak like that, that's a clue it's a quote and you should know what you're quoting before running around saying it.

Because the SJW needs to grow up and get a clue as to how to read period pieces and humor. That's why it was voted down. Intolerant, hypocritical bullspit.

How is this hypocritical on my part? I don't like racism, so I pointed out that the quote is kinda racist.

Racism is never funny. That would be like drawing someone with yellow skin, buck teeth, a long black braid, long fingernails, and squinty eyes and saying that they're not offensive to the Chinese because it's meant to be a joke. It's not okay.

That almost sounds like the arguments the terrorists used to attack Charlie Hebdo. Just for drawing a caricature of Muhamed. I.e. Stop being offended by every little thing. In the end, it is about a movie, not real life and it doesn't (I hope) represent what people actually think. Not for me it doesn't.

#23 is right it isn't funny. It's horribly racist! It didn't originate from that movie. It was very racist back then when other races said it because they were using it to stereotype Asian women in a hateful way. ( Korean War Vietnam war). Thanks to the military I lived in Asia and have Asians in my family. If you understood anything about that movie it's very serious and a lot of the "humor" isn't meant to be funny I should make you sick or uneasy. It's actually to point out the horrible reality of the times and the controversy and ignorance of people and the whole damn situation. I don't find women being forced into prostitution to survive funny or their lack of English. Nor the rapes from guys that didn't want to pay and viewed them all as sub human. SJW ? What an idiot comment. No just a grown ass adult that actually has a brain cell and has seen more of the world and has family that survived those wars. Kudos to those few who really know and spoke up. There used to be buck toothed slant eyed pictures at that time that got passed around saying similar stuff w broken English. Disgusting and it's way different than Hebdo. "Charlie" wasn't killing innocents over free speech. What the hell are they teaching in schools these days.
