Illiterally Alliterate

I can sympathize with folks who are below the computer literacy curve because I just found out what a hashtag was. According to friends, I now abuse the mechanism and to them I simply say #lame.

I felt, however, that the "FML" was a widely known statement of love for a significant other. What was curious was that my boyfriend got very upset every time I used it.

Here are some examples:

"**** made me a candlelit dinner, FML"

"**** just told me he loved me for the first time.. FML"

"We're engaged! FML"

Apparently my definition was the antithesis of the universally understood meaning. Thankfully he didn't break up with me over this. He did, however break up with me for calling him an Anti-Semite.

...Upon further investigation, "Anti-Semite" does not mean someone who is opposed to linguistics.
