Today, I was talking to one of my British friends online, and he told me to say "yew anchors" a few times really fast. I'm a fairly stupid person, and wasn't very focused, so I did as he said. When I finally figured what the words meant, my dad had heard and grounded me for cursing. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad grounded me for swearing, after I read a funny comment on Youtube to my sister. The supposed swear word? "YOLO." FML
Today, my grandmother told me to say "sofa king retarded" really fast. Not only did it take me several attempts to figure out what it meant, I'm now grounded by my mother for having a foul mouth. FML
Today, my dad made a big show of sending me to my room and grounding me for a week. Not because he heard me cursing at my video game, but because I "swear like a little girl" and it embarrassed him in front of his friends. FML
Today, our house caught fire. While trying to help my mom get to safety, the word "fuck" accidentally escaped my mouth. Once we were safe, she said I was grounded for swearing. I'm 19. FML
Today, my dog kept barking at the door, and I jokingly shouted, "Language!" My mom heard and grounded me for yelling at the dog. FML
Today, my normally very modest and prissy mom came home, pissed off about something. I asked her what was wrong, but she wouldn't say, and snapped at me to "fuck off." She then grounded me for "making" her use that kind of "vile language." FML
Today, for the first time in my 20 years of life, I heard my dad unironically say the f-word. I was so shocked by it that I became became practically frozen for a full minute, which is not a very good thing to happen when you're at work, and your boss is watching you. FML
Today, my parents punished me and made me wash my mouth out with soap for cursing. I'm almost 19. I said the word "Hell". FML
Today, I was babysitting my 6-year-old brother and was playing Mario. When I won, he called me a cunt. I was in shock and asked him where he learnt the word. He said from me when I was driving. He then told my mum that I taught him a new word. Easy to say, I'm in big trouble. FML
Today, my now ex-boyfriend called me out after I spelt "realised" with an S instead of a Z. It wouldn't have been so bad, if we weren't both British, if he hadn't called me an "illiterate idiot", and if he hadn't muttered "family of morons" when my mum backed me up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Freely Jacques Strap Seymour Hutz Homer Sexual Bea O' Problem Ivana Tinkle Anita Bath Maya Buttreeks Ura Snotball Ollie Tabooger Ahmed Adoudi Maya Normusbutt Drew P.

I think it is more of a swear word in places like Great Britain and Australia, and that is why some people don't recognize it/know what it means.

All that truly ran through my head hearing this was "GET ON THE POINT, WANKA!"

Ok so I figured it out, but I didn't think that was an American curse word as well...I'm surprised OP's father considered it cursing. I mean, that's like me saying "bloody person", it doesn't mean as much in the U.S.
monster_tamer 11
Same here. I thought it was "Yankers".

Wanker is nothing in the UK. It's about as much as calling someone a tosser. Pretty tame.
DriAA7 17
...What's a tosser? I know, I know! I'm sorry! I'm making this harder!

#57, Wanker is very much slang in Australia. Anyone who calls someone a wanker usually isn't that serious
interesting33 37
a tosser is a jerk. But is pretty mild - not a swear word just an insult I think
TheyCallMeDamien 18
You wankers
sythe511 28
That's barely considered swearing. More like crass language.

Apparently your English friend failed at the language that his country invented...

You wankers!

Am I the only one realizing that this is an 18+ app? Wonder if OP is 18.

When you say it fast it sounds out you wankers lol. Wankers being kinda like saying "You *******!"
mpkpm 19
Seems pretty harmless, could have made you say a lot worse I'm sure! Anyway your father needs to relax a bit, explain it to him.
CaptainMulligan 7
Yeah, like saying I'm sofa king cool.
8313girl 28
Yeah I agree. The only way I see it being a big deal is if OP and her family are also British. I just can't see any American really getting upset about the word wanker.

I think it's you wankers.

Saying you wanker is not a bad word.

depends where you live really

It is in England. Then again, "crap" and even "crud" are swear words in England...
bekkitha 4
since when has crap or crud been a swear word in the uk? Even saying '****' doesn't really offend many people here anymore
russfml 31
Wow grounded for saying you wankers? That's not even that bad lol
sunnyray812 42
I'm afraid to know what the father would do if he were to use the word "****."
jack_jill05 14
depends how old OP is, some parents hate cursing, no matter the age
