Words Women Use

FINE
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.


FIVE MINUTES
If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

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"


GO AHEAD
This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.


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 over "Nothing"


THAT'S OKAY
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

THANKS
A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say "you're welcome."

WHATEVER
It's a woman's way of saying *!#@ YOU!

This one is sooooooo true. I said "whatever" to my bf the other day and he said, "you take that whatever back, I didn't do anything to deserve it and you know it."

Wait.. I dated a guy who used these.  He had all the stereotypical disadvantages of BOTH genders.  How could I let that one slip away?

yeah, but he is probably getting laid a lot, since men who are getting regular sex are much calmer than their single brothers...so he'll agree with anything to keep that coming...lol.

I think "I'm sorry" and "you're right" should also be said on a daily basis. Not to mention "I love you".
