Nine words women use....
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 woman can make to a man. That 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.
8.) Whatever : Is a women's way of saying this is dumb and I am walking away now to curse you under my breath.
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.Then you RUN!
I have so used #4.....or it's alternative: you do whatever you think is right. lol it's definitely a dare. great post. have a great weekend. Blessings, SusanD
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that I have heard all these things. In my house the most famous is "I will be right there" Translation: Go ahead and do it yourself. I'm waiting until you finish before I head your way.
ReplyDeleteSusan I am so with ya on #4, Hubby knows I don't mean it if it comes with a tone now though.
ReplyDeleteLOL Greg, I do that all the time.

ReplyDeleteOh Jenny - this is too funny and oh so true! We women are a breed of our own aren't we?? But we all speak the same language.
