(and Men Need to Know):
1. FINE: This is the word women use to end an argument when theyare 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 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
woman 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.
7. THANKS: A woman is thanking you, do not 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 “GO TO HELL”.
9. DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT, I GOT IT: Another dangerous statement.
This means this is something that a woman has told a man to do several
times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man
asking ‘What’s wrong?’ For the woman’s response refer to # 3.
