roscoedoh Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 After the discussion we had last week about what we've learned about women, I thought this might be worth a giggle. I'm also kind of curious to see what emul8 and/or T Lynn has to say. Enjoy! -------------------------------------- WORDS WOMEN USE 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 This is not actually a word, but is a nonverbal 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 over "Nothing" THAT'S OKAY This is one of the most dangerous statements that a 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 A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say "You're Welcome." Send this to the men you know to warn them about future arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology!

Doble Troble Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Roscoedoh, if you compiled that list you're a genius. The main trouble-causing terminology has been covered. But of course there are more words and phrases to add. Women love words especially in large quantities. If you're getting them in small quantities (you might think you're lucky for a minute) you are in deep doo-doo. A particularly ominous phrase: "I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT" Women always want to talk about it. This has the same general meaning as "NOTHING" but means that you're in an order of magnitude greater amount of trouble. Might as well rent a motel room and hope you hear "NOTHING" the next morning.

Emul8 Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 LOL! I just told one of my friends "Go ahead", and it wasn't permission! LOLOLOLOLOL!! OK, you got me...most of those are correct, except the 5 minutes...I am SO on the spot and almost obsessive about time. I also don't really do the "fine" or "nothing" stuff either. Otherwise, I can't complain about this...it's funny because it's true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake. THANKS A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say "You're Welcome." Hmmm... the word "Fine" - I've used that once or twice and actually meant it (as in I give up and just please go away). "Five Minutes" - yes I will be ready in five minutes...if you are not ready in that time I am leaving without you because I will not wait. "Nothing" - oh yes that is definitely correct for the most part. However, when the argument ends in nothing I would suggest you leave quickly, very, very quickly as my temper has just about had enough of the whole situation (as in why didn't you just listen to the word "Fine" and go away in the first place). "Go Ahead" - nope not a dare, it actually means please go ahead I'm listening and would like to hear what you have to say or please go ahead and do that. It is not said lightly and usually only said when I'm working with my brother or my friend (normally around guns and equipment). Don't have time to say much else. "Loud Sigh" - haven't tried that one yet - I'll let you know. Only time I've done a loud sigh is when I've been extremely tired and wanted to go to sleep. "That's Okay" - the above is a minor interpretation, one which I've rarely used in that aspect. Usually used in hey that's okay meaning it's all good. "Thanks" - umm, that usually means just that. Except when said heavily laden with sarcasm (usually right after somebody has ripped me off of money or something else). Okay, there's my reply... and no I'm not what you would call normal, but is anybody normal??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
