Today, it was my first time meeting my fiancé's parents. My future mother-in-law had cooked steak, hearing it was my favourite food. I somehow managed to bite my tongue, and then blurt out "Fuck!" just after she asked me how it was. FML

Don't feel bad everyone has done something like that at some point or other in their life

In a situation like this it is always best to continue speaking (and not hold your tongue, as the saying goes. e.g. Mum in law " How is it" OP "**** *slight pause* ...ing awesome!!! My taste buds just ejaculated all over my tongue" OK, you can leave the second line out when talking to the inlaws, but you get the picture, right? Practice will perfect the skill. FYL

Pretty sure if you immediately start the inevitable muffled apology and explain you accidentally bit your tongue it'll be ok. You'll get laughed at, but should be fine.

You're lying about steak being your favo(u)rite food. It's not even your favo(u)rite cut of beef: that would be tongue!

Human tongue is not beef. Just thought you should know.

59 so true! Sad to be a part of this generation!

Calm down 83. You don't have to yell about how sad you are.

cows do have tongues, bro.

So follow up with "sorry, I bit my tongue really hard, it's very good thank you". It could have been worse, you could have said "shit".

Ha nooo, as a swear word :P The word 'shit' is much more socially acceptable

How can you be engaged to someone and never have met their parents? I call fake.

Because some people would rather wait until things get really serious before they take someone home to their family. Of the people that I have dated my family has only met two of them. Also my father never met any of my dates because we don't live in the same state anymore. Shit happens.

Really, you had to yell ****? You bit your tongue. It happens. Rude.

God DAMN these fickle pain thresholds!! Pretty sure he didn't yell it, given the circumstance and wording of the fml.

Pardon me "you had to blurt out ****?"

That damned tongue-bite. I'm sure when you tried to explain you spoke a little oddly since your tongue was trying to escape the tortures of your mouth. She'll probably understand, if not your fiancée will most likely vouch for you.
