Today, while eating in a Mexican restaurant, I asked the waitperson how the drink my husband ordered was pronounced in Spanish. She replied, "Vodka Martini." FML

OP here. What a surprise, my first published FML! Being a Mexican restaurant, all of the employees there were Mexican. I try to keep up on my Spanish and wanted to know the translation. This one turned out to be rather easy to remember. Cheers!

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I think the point is there is no Spanish translation. In terms of etymology, "vodka" is Russian and "martini" is Italian.

I'll bet she said "bodka." That's hilarious!

Really? Don't expect that everyone working at a culture restaurant knows said language.

Be sure to reply bilingually too with "¡¿No?!"

It is called Google translate. I assume you have a cell phone. Then you don't sound like an ignorant moron. A FML for you? Moe for her that she gets these dumbs questions too frequently.
