FML daughter here . So glad this amused everyone!
She also never got the whole "Schwing" meaning from Waynes World and wrote it all over the baseball pages in my brothers high school scrapbook. Thank God that was before facebook ! |
OMG I am crying! "Schwing and a miss!" |
| My FIL always likes his own posts. He has finally stopped signing them. FIL also likes personal photos and comments from my friends' timelines and he has never met them. As if they would know who the hell he is. |
| You woman are horrible. You do realize that some day your kids will have the same disgust and distain for you. |
No, it's funny. If I do innocent yet funny things like this, I give my kids every right to chuckle at me. |
| My mom and dad are no longer living, but I loved this thread! I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face, this is so funny! |
Sorry mom. We don't have disgust or disdain for you. We luuuuuv you! |

Had to look up FML. I was guessing right. But the First hit:
FML means Fix My Lighthouse. Back in the 17th Century, lighthouse keepers were tthe butt of everyone's jokes. When a lighthouse keeper was made fun of, his retort would be "why dont you fix my lighthouse!" which was shortened over time to FML. This term was made famous in the great battle of the Sole Bay in 1902 where 14 peolpe died and 1 person broke their glasses. "if you are going to take the piss out of me then why don't you FML! |
When my mom leaves a voicemail on my cellphone, she thinks I can hear it as I would on an answering machine: "Larlaaaaaaa.....Larla? Ok well I guess you're not around. Call me back." She thinks a web address is called a 'web number.' She thinks 'Disposable Cell phones' are a thing. I believe she picked this up from The Sopranos. |
| I think disposable cell phones are a thing. Like cricket? |
| My Mom IS on FB all day - she has the app on her iPad. She always comments right after me when I respond to a friend or family member, even my IL's! She never misses a post of mine - always a comment. Oh well. |
| FML = Fuck My Life |

My sister and I had to make a rule with my mom - What's on Facebook, stays on Facebook. Any time either of us would post, she would call us within 10 minutes to discuss said post with us. Then she'd call the other of us to see if we had seen our sister's post, and did we care to discuss it. Mind you, my sister and I do not post real thought-provoking pieces of writing - this is just typical asinine Facebook posts. Nothing that required a separate follow-up conversation!
She also likes to call us to see if we'd seen her Facebook posts yet. Sigh....I just *like* anything she puts up immediately to avoid the "Did you see my post?" phone call. (And I'm not avoiding talking to my mom - I just don't want to talk to her about Facebook!) |
