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 g usually end in  fine. 

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!   

(5) 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 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.
