Words women use and what they really mean!

[ovation99]

This is not really pc, but hey, it's Christmas !!

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
Although not actually a word, the loud sigh is 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 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
This is the least used of all words in the female vocabulary. If a woman is
thanking you. Do not question it, just say you're welcome and back out of the room slowly.


Happy New Year to All at MididMart

You are risking a lot posting this inflammatory material here.
Prepare for reprisals.

I couldn't agree more with the above words. Even my wife agrees that they are correct. But, lets give the fairer species a chance to post their own interpretations of words they say.
Got to go, I can hear a Midi file coming up the stairs attached to a rolling pin.

All the best for 2009

Cheers Oliver,
It was all done "tongue in cheek" and obviously, I didn't intend to upset "mission control"

Let's hope 2009 is better than the last !

What we say and what we mean - just to kick off the list:

Yes, dear = I dare you
Five minutes = NOW!!
Whatever = you haven't been paying attention for the last five minutes
Please, honey = or else

Not only funny, but excellent advice!

Gosh its so true, ovation. I caught myself saying those words " fine.....go ahead etc etc " and yes - thats exactly what you said and what they mean . I guess its the intonation which gives it the "masala".
Good one, buddy
