Where does the term FML come from?

Sometimes I sit and wonder where the things that we say today originated.  Like, was someone just sitting outside on the steps of their apartment one day after a hard day thinking, “hmm F- my car, F- my dog, F- my cat, F-my bills, F- my cell phone, F- the environment, F- the ecosystem, F- you, F- him, F- her, F- them, F-it…” until they came to the final “F- my life, hmm that has a ring to it”.

I mean really?  What does it take for someone to come up with something like that?  Since when is it ok to use an obsenity right infront of what keeps you alive… your life??  The very thing that your mom spent 12 hours in labor to give you (well 102 for me but thats beside the point).  I know if I ever went home saying … “Today, I fell asleep in the kitchen and I dreamed that I was meeting Michelle Obama on a hot summer day, so hot that the leather seats in my car were impossible to touch. When I went to shake her hand I woke up with my hand on the stove with 3rd degree burns FML!” my mom would have a fit, saying things such as

…”I was not in labor, pushing for an entire week for you to say FML.  I’m the reason you have that life.  Your life belongs to me, I’ve got a receipt. *pulls out hospital bill from 1987*”

But yeah while sites like fmylife.com are HILARIOUS, and I’m not saying that fmylife.com isnt bookmarked in my favorites and top visited in my favorits, but I was just thinking hmm isnt FML a little harsh?

What happened to the good old days of “Oh Snap!?? ahh hooray for multipurpose exclamations!
