Our nurse at school received an email the other day and I thought it would be good blog fodder and perhaps others could come up with more words to add to the list.
The email was titled Nine Words Women Use. This list is written as a guide to men. So here's the list:
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 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! It's a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are and 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" at this point. 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 asked 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.
Now I challenge you to come up with words you may use when dealing with your man. Or guys... what words do your ladies use that have hidden meanings? Let's expand our vocabulary!!!
