Today, I met my daughter's boyfriend, who she hopes to marry. I asked what he does, to which he answered, "I'm a Flamencologist." Flamencology? The study of Flamenco? Huh? FML

Today, my mother met a new member of my band. He's a piano player from Mexico City. She introduced herself as my mother, then asked him if he spoke Spanish or Mexican. This lead to a long talk about how they speak Spanish in Mexico too. She didn’t believe him. FML

Today, my husband started taking language classes. Not something sensible like French or Spanish, but fucking Latin! Why the fuck would anyone learn Latin? What a stupid fuck. FML

Today, I introduced my Spanish friend to a girl I've had a crush on for a long time. Because he only spoke Spanish and she only spoke English, I was the translator. The first thing he said to her was, "You are really pretty." I translated it as "I like other men." Later, they found out. FML

Today, I showed up at my boyfriend's work to surprise him by speaking in Spanish, his first language. I've been taking classes secretly. He smiled, kissed me, and then finished telling his friend, in Spanish, that I'm boring and ugly but he's got nothing better going on. FML

Today, I introduced my mother to my new girlfriend. My mom made a very nasty comment about her in Spanish, not realizing that my girlfriend teaches Spanish at the local school. FML

Today, at my daughter's fundraiser, I noticed that a guy with a face only a fist could love kept staring at her. I said "Beautiful, isn't she?" Before I could tell him to keep it in his damned pants, he replied "Hah. She's my girlfriend, dude. Total beast in the sack." Complete news to me on both counts. FML

Today, I was talking to a smokin' hot Cuban sorority girl. She told me her mom only speaks Spanish, so she translates for her. Without thinking I said, "Oh like Chewbacca and Han Solo?" FML

Today, I found out that all the everyday Spanish words and phrases my boyfriend has been teaching me have very vulgar meanings. I found this out after I said a few to our waitress. FML

I agree with you SOMAgirl. The father is being judgemental. Unfortunately, usually the 2nd question in a conversation when people meet is "so, what do you do?". This culture defines peoples worth by their jobs, unless their independently rich. The dads major concern is that his daughter will have to support herself and her future husband. As a father of a daughter, I know where he's coming from even though I think you're right that he should be happy that she's with someone that makes her happy.

Really?? Did you not read through the comments? Because, you know, god forbid you actually look it up yourself.

THANK YOU, 74! I mean, none of us know everything, and I'm all sharing information- but when you're is already on the INTERNET, why doesn't one just Google something he or she doesn't understand?! Why should we oblige those who are too lazy to muster up the strength to hit a few keys? It's like the people that ask what OP is... I mean, we were all new here once, but really? It completely interrupts the thread and makes people like me go on tangents. :-P

Come on, you people! Haven't any you ever heard of a Phelgmencologist? It's a person who studies phlegm and mucus. Next time you get a hacking cough, put some of what you cough up in a Ziploc bag and give it to him. He'll tell you exactly what you need to do. (Don't freak out if he has to taste it to complete his evaluation -- that's totally professional and not at all freaky.)

And why didn't she ask what it is? Besides - someone who likes to dance might go on and open a school, making a good living of it. It's a possibility, OP could have found out by asking about it.
