Nine Words Women Use

[hychang]

This was sent to my home e-mail account by a friend. She just couldn't resist, neither could I.

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'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 F-- YOU!

(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.

I thought I should pass this along and share with my fellow man.

Ladies, please annotate and expand with your thoughts as well as add to this list so we can be more informed. Thank you.

This is GREAT and certainly true in my house...
wife, 16 and 5yo girls.....

This needs to be required in High School or some thing, it took me a lonk time to leard it

I SOOOOO have to watch the whole whatever....

For me, is a combination of #8 and #5. This joke has been going around now for 3 years that I know of. Since then I have had to be on my toes, because my "WHATever" (said with a rolling of the eyes and a look) has been found out. I could utter that and it would slide under the male radar.

I make sure now I only pull it out now in extreme circumstances.

Hmmmm ... I'm a 1 & 9 girl myself ... but the DH uses the 'Whatever' ALL THE TIME! (I wonder what that means!)

And the alternative to #9 - "Never mind" - the definition is about the same.
