"Then my cousin got murdered" is the new way to end a story that you thought was cool, but upon telling it you realize is lame as hell. The addition of "Then my cousin got murdered" makes a seemingly boring story instantly interesting. This new phrase replaces the once popular "Then I found five dollars."
Guy One: What did you do this weekend?

Guy One: *yawn*
Guy Two:...um..eh...then my cousin got murdered...
Guy One: Holy shit! Really?!?!

Get the Then My Cousin Got Murdered mug.
The new phrase that one should say to spice up a lame story instead of "And then I found five dollars."

Originated from an entry on www.fmylife.com where a person said "My girlfriend was having a really bad day, so I said 'I'm sure you will get over it soon.' To which she responded 'My cousin got murdered today.' Fml."

A sure fire way to make your lame stories exciting.

Tim: "Is this story going any where?"
Carson: "Yes! Like I said, I was walking along the street and I noticed my shoe was untied "and then my cousin got murdered..."
Tim: "Holy shit! Tell me more!?"
