bpt, this is for you:
(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 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.
(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, meaning 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.
