9 Words

Learning a foreign language can be tricky.
Here is a list of nine words that have a different meaning between men and women. Has not helped me yet but maybe it will help out a poor soul.

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.0A
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do no t question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome’, that will bring on a 'whatever').
(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

  1. I've found that it's much easier for my cave-dweller brain to keep straight if I just answer "Yes, Dear" to whatever comes out of Her mouth.

    Even if its not an appropriate response to whatever She said, the odds are in my favor for a successful outcome (ie. I survive).

  2. Very perceptive post, CWN, I got some good laughs out of this too, which are sorely needed today.

    I agree with Paladin too! A guy's best course of action is just to agree with whatever his better half suggests! That, and nice dinners out, surprise flowers now and then, and other displays of affection ;-)
    Have a fun weekend.
