FROM THE MAILBOX...
THE 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 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. Don't question it or faint. Just say "You're welcome."
Ladies, send this to the men you know if you want to warn them about future arguments they can avoid by remembering the terminology. On the other hand, if you want the language to remain in code so that you get the satisfaction of saying it while they remain clueless, delete the link to my blog for a few days until this one descends into the nether regions.
Oh, and before I forget ...
"WHATEVER !" - Is a woman's way of saying "*! #@ YOU!"
