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 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!

I feel experienced enough to tackle this dialogue from the man's point of view, so risking all that is male about me, here goes.

FINE
When will you women learn that fine and coarse are totally opposite?

FIVE MINUTES
You risk our social standing when you mistake five minutes for thirty. People are expecting us; in fact, waiting for my arrival. Have a little consideration. When you really mean five minutes, you must understand that emergencies such as overtime and the green-white checker sometimes take longer.

NOTHING
Is without substance and holds no real meaning to us. Nothing is nothing. If you try to make it something I'll turn it into a beer.

GO AHEAD
You only need to say it once.

LOUD SIGH
Words, woman, words! That wheezing noise is just annoying.

THAT'S OK
You do your thing, and I'll do mine. Any repercussions will be followed by a prompt reminder that you gave it your OK.

THANKS
Seriously, you've already cleaned out the bank account, 7/8ths of my retirement and sacked the kids' college funds. What more do you want?

Those are all great!!!

i wonder what my face looks like when ever i say those words. we just can't escape from being a woman.. . haha.. great reminders..

for both Teesa and Redchief!

Thank you!
