By Confused Clipboard - This FML is from back in 2016 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my math teacher explained his concern for how "clipboard" should be pronounced similar to "cupboard." I thought he was crazy. I then later found myself saying it the new way to my mother. FML

Who else sat here mouthing; 'cupboard... clipboard... cupboard... clipboard?'

So...the fml part of this is that you said a word incorrectly to your mother? Got it.

As an Australian with a very heavy Aussie accent, I'm quite confused cause I can't tell the different between the pronunciations

My mind was blown when someone pointed out that cupboards are so named because they are literally boards you put your cups on.
