Today, I only just found out that the abbreviation "lbs" is actually short for pounds. I've been saying "labs" my entire life. I'm 21. FML

I guess we all know you didn't pay attention in school.

I'm surprised that nobody ever corrected you before. You must have some crap friends.

I mean I don't really understand the abbreviation either.... But I'm sure you're not the only one who's made that hilarious mistake OP.

Thank you. I didn't knew it either. I'm 28.

Well you're just dumb! being on the Internet doesn't give you the right to be proud of being dumb! Man this world!

#129 And just because you're on the internet doesn't give you the right to act like a jerk. just saying.

I called it 'ibits' until my Mom figured out what I was talking about.

"I lost my hand in a car crash," now that's an FML. Mispronouncing a word!!!!!!! Naaaa. Doesn't quite cut it.

On the other hand, why is "pound" abreviated with "lbs"?

'lbs' is short for 'libras' which is pounds in Latin.

Seems there are a bunch of stuff you should have known.
