Help for our younger men

Here some tips for you younger men to help you translate "woman speak". Please do not confuse "woman speak" with the English language. :-)

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE
(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 a 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 # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay 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. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome'; that will bring on a 'whatever').
(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying screw YOU!
(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 a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

Don't listen to Marshall!

We do none of that.....LOL!!!

Hey girls, we need our own topic! Anyone have a great list for interpreting "men speak"? Meaning, grunts, groans, eyerolls, sighs, burps and farts? LOL Cause they rarely use words.....my hubby's classic line is - "what was the question?".....

One of my life goals is to write a book on the 1000 different meanings of the word YES when it comes out of your wife's mouth. :-)

LOL!

Well then, we could write a book for what was probably on your men's minds when they ask - what was the question or did you say something? LOL

Well, it's not those words, but I found a list translating what men really mean when they use certain phrases.
