We have all heard the expression, "FML"! Well, us young adults & teenagers have anyway. The term means F*ck My Life. It sounds extremely vulgar, right? Well, it is, but if you knew how & why we use the term, you'd find it going right into your vocabulary!
The fmylife.com website has grown popular over the years. I like the fact the book has a little introduction on how the website became so big & what it was before. The website first became a forum. A forum in which, a few buddies in France started to tell about how crappy things happened to them that day. Later, in January of 2008, the forum became a blog. Also, the book mentions that the forum was NOT in English, but purely French. They soon realized that the audience of this blog became wider, & pretty much everyone else has gone through the same thing, so they had to make the change into the wonderful language of English!
The F My Life book is quite small. The book runs about 269 pages, containing hundreds of FMLs written by people all over the world. The book is divided in 6 categories: Moments of Shame, It's Just Not Fair!, You Shouldn't Have Even Bothered, Sh*t Out Of Luck, Rock Bottom & Banes of Our Existence. From the first category being just embarrassing & you'll get over it to the last category being the worst of the worst. Seriously, when you read some of these FMLs, you will literally yell out "Oh my gosh!" Some of these FMLs are so bad, you really do feel sorry for the person or persons involved. However, there are some that fall flat & you just don't get them. The book also have illustrations for some of the FMLs. Some being overly graphic with nudity while some provide funny images.
The book is really a good buy. It's around $10 for Barnes & Noble members while the regular price is $15. Sadly though, almost all of these FMLs can be found on the website. I do believe, they did add a few original ones on here. I want to thank Maxime Valette, Guillaume Passaglia, & Didier Guedj for putting this book out. It is a very funny book that all should read!
Some of my favorite FMLs are:
Today I was eating at a restaurant with my boyfriend. He is six foot two, and I'm four foot eleven. Out of nowhere, the hostess started openly flirting with him and asked him if he needed a high chair for his daughter.FML
Today while pumping gas, I stopped to think about what a failure my life is and how badly I've treated people in my past. Deep in thought, I accidentally pulled the gas pump out too far and covered myself with gasoline.FML
Today I was driving after dark and saw a small animal run across the road. I slammed on my brakes and got rear-ended. The animal turned out to be a plastic grocery bag. FML
Today I was visiting my grandmother, and I overheard her having phone sex. FML
Today I realized that the dog humping my leg was the most action I've gotten in months. FML
Today while watching the trailer at the movies, my boyfriend elbowed me in the ribs and smiled during an ad for a weight loss institute. FML
