The words that women use . . .

We’re getting close to the time when plans are being finalised, the food has been organised, the children occupied, but some caring male partner says something and whoosh! from the female! What was that all about?

So with tongue firmly in cheek, and remembering that this is a female putting these words down, here are a few words men may benefit from knowing the meanings behind the words.

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 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 No.3 for the meaning of nothing.)
6. That’s OK : This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That’s OK 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.
8. Whatever : Is a woman’s way of saying … YOU! (The . . . ?  I don’t think I want to put swear words in this post, so just use your imagination.)
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 the man asking ‘What’s wrong?’ For the woman’s response refer to No.3.
