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.

Just tell her what it is for her reaction

There can also be that "*****" means something else in her mother tongue? Which would kind of through throw a spanner into her reading " she lay there naked and was ready to turn on her "car door" for a night of solo fun" haha? See doesnt make sense? Maybe thats why she needed to know what one was

Don't get her to read Fifty Shades of Grey.

Totally not as bad as the time I asked the librarian what sodomy meant after reading it on the back of a Marilyn Manson record. I still cringe.

I think the fact that she talked about fight club is more of a reason for YDI

Well -30 she's going to have a hard time translating if you're throwing spanners at her, while she's trying to read.

Well at least you didn't tell her to read 50 shades of grey

#18 I speak French, and we have a totally different word for "*****".

in spanish too apparently. i've never said there isn't another word for it in any language. just that the possibility exists that there isn't in that particular language. anyway we'll never find out.

We might find out if the OP replies at some point. That does happen occasionally.
