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

You could have just NOT convinced her to read it OP. YDI.

So explain it to her. If you don't think she can handle it why did you recommend it anyway?

Yeah, Palahniuk really has a, um, unique style. And by unique I mean downright filthy sometimes. It's a good book but I would probably pass on recommending it to Mom.

I think OP already knows how to sigh... Hey, maybe you could teach OP's mother what a ***** is!

Depending on how hot op's mom is, I just may show her the real deal. Thanks anyways 50. I guess i was referring more to what my reaction was, not so much that she should learn how to sigh.

in the four languages I speak, ***** means *****. There isn't another word for it in any of them. No idea what language OP's mother speaks but chances are that the word exists in her language too.

Couldn't you get a translated version for her?

Reading literature in its original language is much nicer, at least in my opinion.

Plus reading a book in a language you're trying to learn is great education.

There's a time limit after you post in which you can edit your comment. I think it's 2 minutes but I'm not entirely sure. Also, I dunno if every platform has it. I know computers and apple can but I'm not sure if the android app can edit.

why does OP deserve it for being intelligent and wishing to spread cultural influence and discuss if with his family? I swear so many people on this site are uneducated, judgemental morons
