Words women use - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

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 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 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.

WHATEVER

It's a woman's way of saying *!#@ YOU!

I love those, Cat.

May I add

"You decide"

That means read my mind and decide what I'd like and choose that or wish you had.

Actually, I always thought the correct answer was "Here honey, have some Godiva chocolate."

How about, "...Honey, you look good in everything! ..."

I've got one I'm totally guilty of. If my husband asks if I'm Ok, I'll say (and it's with this definite tone) "I'm fine. It's OK" Hard to explain without hearing the tone.

Guys, allow me to translate...

"...I'm fine..." -- as far as you need to know, you stupid insensitive jerk, I don't know why I even bother letting you hang around me...

"...Its okay..." -- because I don't have twenty years available to spend trying to bring your intelligence level up to the point where you could even begin to have a glimmering of what I'm going through right now you clod...

Yeah, I used to be married.
