Today, I finally convinced my mom to read Fight Club. As English isn't her first language, she occasionally asked me to translate some of the words. Her latest question: "What's a dildo?" FML

So miss out on spreading influential literature and a potential bonding experience because OP forgot that "*****" was in the book?

The brief mentioning of a ***** doesn't hold a candle to what the rest of the book is about so I dunno why he's so embarrassed.

Reading > not reading Fight Club is a great work of literature.

Like she was supposed to remember a specific word like *****. FYL

This sounds like it would be an awkward parent-child talk but reversed, the only thing that is the same is the awkwardness...

In context to the book, your comment offers very strange imagery. Especially the "very friendly" part.

Considering Fight Club is just that awesome, I'd say explaining what A ***** (not, Your *****) is, is definitely worth it. Still a big Ydi though! ;)

I can just picture someone saying that in real life and taking 10 seconds to say the word 'awkward'.

Why would you want her to read it anyways? To better understand your generation and way of thinking? You definitely deserve it.

If you don't explain this to her now, this sticky situation could stick with you and be lengthened. I suggest you receive the reprocussions of what you did.

Was this a terrible attempt at a pun? No, really, do tell... I'm actually not sure.
