Things That Make Girls Say FML

Not Knowing how to Pronounce Something on the Menu When You're on a Date

You’re on a date with a hot guy at an awesome restaurant. The menu comes and you freak: how do you say JICAMA?? WTF is spiced acacia honey soy? This has happened to even the most sophisticated diners, but that doesn’t make it any less embarrassing. The best thing to do is completely avoid ordering (or talking about) whatever you can’t pronounce. If you don’t know what it is you certainly don’t need to eat it for dinner. But there are instances where something goes awry and for some inexplicable reason you find yourself muttering “I’ll have the vichyssoise, please,” and next thing you know you have some unidentifiable object (meat? vegetable?) on a plate in front of you. This is bad. You will go to the bathroom and text your BFF, “OMG I just did the worst thing ever.” While this is certainly an order-an-extra-drink worthy faux pas, it’s entirely possible that your date has no idea how to pronounce this mysterious menu item either. Here’s to hoping! [Photo via]
