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...quickly. 8.) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying FUCK YOU!...though it's most used by females under age 18. 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.
It's up to you, I don't really care: She cares. Do it her way, not yours. Example: Her: Should we leave? I feel like we're imposing on them. Him: I dunno, do you wanna leave? Her: It's up to you, I don't really care.
-_- Worse yet, though, is the subtle nuances of Man's language that hint at possible gayness. _ _ I still don't get it.
For example, if you're a girl: If he says he's taken, and doesn't use third-person pronouns, it's probably another guy. If he likes Madonna, this does NOT mean he's gay. It means he has taste. Depeche Mode, however, may be a sure sign. We're still researching.
Do what you want: Not to be taken seriously. This does not mean you've won the "discussion" about what you're going to do. This means she doesn't feel like arguing any more, doesn't care WHAT you do any more, and will make you pay dearly for doing what you want to do at a much later date.
In a pub: Him: 'What do you want'. Me: 'Oh, surprise me!' I'll admit, it means 'I want a double Scotch, but I'm not going to look like a lush by asking for one. But if you bring back anything else, you're going to get the Sigh'.
In a restaurant: Him: Do you want some {fries/dessert/etc...}? Her: No thanks, I'll just try a bite of yours. Translation: Hell yes I want some, but I don't want to look like a fat-ass ordering it for myself, so I'll eat most of yours!
