Health risk

Today, my mum gave me half-raw chicken for dinner. After she refused to cook it again, I threw it away saying that I didn't want to get salmonella. She told to be more grateful, and that I was an idiot for trying to use salmonella as an excuse because, "It's chicken, not salmon." FML

You should have said 'I meant chicken pox!'

Well, you probably should have cooked it again yourself rather than throw it away, but fyl, that's disgusting.

Yeah.... Where you grew up.... It's different in each country. Don't be so closed minded. You probably don't even know salmonella isn't a fish -_-

Actually, IN MOST PARTS OF ENGLAND it's mum, not throughout the UK. In Wales (and some places in England) it's mam and so on...

I actually didn't notice/pay attention to the mum thing. :/

That's because it's common knowledge. I didn't even think it was possible to be unaware of it.

You'd think, but you'd really be surprised. In fact, I'm surprised there's only one of this type of comment so far... Damn, I've been around here too long.

And where did the ENGLISH language originate from?? The clue is in the name of the country, that being England! just in case your geography doesn't extend outside your own state so it is MUM not MOM. Mom sounds like a whining git!! I don't recall the native Americans speaking English before we sent you there so I would hazard a guess and say that Mum is the correct spelling and pronunciation!!

Technically they're both correct due to dialects etc etc. I'd reccomend accepting that (or some similar view) or getting ready to do A LOT of shouting at people over the net or in real life...

As an English major, let me educate geography boy. If we're talking about dialects, then yes, "mum" is just as good as someone in Boston referring to a "cah". They still spell it "car". Written languages and spoken languages are actually separate entities in societies. Saying "mum" is perfectly fine, typing "mum" is an error, as regardless of your pronunciation of the letter O it's still the letter O. It's a classic case of your teacher telling you not to write a report like you would shorthand a note to friends. And to add a history lesson, our ancestors left Europe to escape oppression and narrow-mindedness... Way to pat yourself on the back, though. Good job, there.

Wait, wait, wait, Emhensley. You're telling me that me typing 'mum' is incorrect? Oh, yeah, good one. This is an example of a difference between British English and American English, they have different spellings sometimes. And I view them as different dialects of the English Language (hence my earlier post) and I suppose that might not be a correct view of it, but it allows me to accept them both as correct.

Your mom's a dumb bitch. But throwing the chicken away probably resulted in you getting no dinner. Should have just cooked it yourself.

The people saying cook it yourself, some older people, of which my grandmother is included, seems to think that only she can cook things correctly, I am a 24 year old woman, yet if she is around and I dare try and cook, get had a go at, shouted about how she knows her microwave etc.

#41: Your grandmother cooks her meat in the microwave? OP, FYL for your mom's lacking knowledge, but you should have cooked it yourself. An animal died (and often in a horrid way) so you could get that meat on your plate, the least you can do is eat it.

Actually, most animal killings for food are painless, but of course, you only ever see and hear the horrible stuff.

If you can write and post an FML, I would think you could put a chicken in the oven for a few minutes
