---- WORDS WOMEN USE
******************************
FINE This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use "fine" to describe how a woman
looks - this will cause you to have one of those arguments.

FIVE MINUTES This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's an even trade.

NOTHING This means "something," and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with "Fine"

GO AHEAD (With Raised Eyebrows!) This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine"

GO AHEAD (Normal Eyebrows) This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care" You will get a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.

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 at that moment, and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here
and arguing with you over "Nothing"

SOFT SIGH Again, not a word, but a non-verbal statement. "Soft Sighs" mean that she is content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe, and she will stay content.

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 paying you back for whatever it is that you have done. "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a "Raised Eyebrow."

GO AHEAD! At some point in the near future, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.

PLEASE DO This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing
whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance with the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay"

THANKS A woman is thanking you. Do not faint. Just say you're welcome.

THANKS A LOT This is much different from "Thanks." A woman will say, "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have offended her in some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud
Sigh." Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh," as she will only tell you "Nothing"

Thanks for the heads-up Stormy. I'll be sure to watch for the danger signs in any of my future relationships. :D [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]

<font color=pink>Some of these are only part true. Allow me to modify ;) </font>

<font color=pink>Except with me, if I see a hot guy, I call him fine. This usually results in varying degrees of jealousy :D </font>

<font color=pink>I fit the "you" statement in this one :D </font>

SOFT SIGH Again, not a word, but a non-verbal statement. "Soft Sighs" mean that she is content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe, and she will stay content.
<font color=pink>Or do something else to make her sigh softly again ;) </font>


GO AHEAD! At some point in the near future, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.
<font color=pink>And usually right before trouble, the words are THAT DOES IT</font>

<font color=pink>These are great stormy, thanks for the laugh :D </font>

glad ya'll liked them, a friend sent them to me, cuz I was starting to unravel :D you know how it is, trying to be super woman, and you find out that there is not such thing, so I enjoyed them too

p.s. LB I liked your versions too, that made me laugh again

To avoid a reply with one or several of the previously mentioned words and phrases, I'll refrain from saying anything.. rational. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Scardy cat Nano ;)

All you gotta do is know what not to say and not say it [img]graemlins/blueblink.gif[/img] Think with your right head and if you're ever in doubt of whether or not what you say is right, say nothing :D

I'm sorry D, but you have two heads? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

think I'll let Jen answer that one :D

*cough8 *cough* you guys made me choke, lol here is the best advice...when in doubt, do nothing [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[img]smile.gif[/img]

Alright, I've made a life decision. Because I'm not completely sure what I want to do with my life, I'm doing nothing :D

That rule only applies when you are talking to women my friend ;)

EDIT: but ya, I hear ya :D

<font color=pink>Um...How about I not say anything or this thread is going to go somewhere bad, lol. [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

lol, this is a thread with lots of people saying nothing

If it's McDonald's, you all can go by yourselves :D

edit: and everything I say means something: it means I've lost touch with reality :D

Stormy, thanks for the *heads* up, gag, and for almost everyone else, huh???

Oh my! The above are so true. Happens to me alot when I hear them from women. Especially FINE. They wanted more than FINE. They wanted "Gee, you look beautiful." Good gravy, woman! Why can't you just accept "You look fine". Oh well. C'est la vie. :D

Hmm, my girlfriend thinks it's special when I call her 'hot' 'superbabe' and 'a hell of a good figure'. non of these actually desribing her personality, of which I can say a number of very very good things on occasion
:D

I just got a good girlfriend I guess [img]tongue.gif[/img]

you forgot what my moms say to my dad

IM GOING TO DIVORCE YOU YOU FAT SON OF A B***H IM TIRED OF THIS

this means pms.

More exciting translations further closing the linguistic gap between men and women:

"awww cutie.."
means
"grow up. u look cute but ur not a real man and i'll never love u"


"it's alright.. tell me"
means
"can't believe i have to listen to all your problems AGAIN!"


"cool"
means
"can't be arsed to explain why it is SO NOT cool"


*rolleyes*
means
"i have lost faith in verbal communication with you"

"why?"
means
she's now questioning whether you have a brain at all.

Cloud if it means angry PM's then why do you post it?

*says nothing*

<font color=pink>Umm...i believe he was referring to PMS Firestorm...not private messages! lol! :D </font>

Hmm... perhaps. I just seem to have trouble recognizing acronyms in lower case. That and he posted somewhere that he tends to recieve negative PM's relatively often.

lol, no he is referring to the woman thing :D [img]tongue.gif[/img] <u>PMS</u> not PM's

LOL Firestormalpha :D best laugh I've had all day :D

<font color=pink>Umm...i believe he was referring to PMS Firestorm...not private messages! lol! :D </font> </font>[/QUOTE]ROFL! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

*whistles inocently* I haven't the foggiest idea what ya'll er talkin about.

<font color=orchid>How about <font color=white>Maybe we should just cool off for now and talk about it later</font>?

= If I don't stop talking to you now, I'm going to do something I'll regret later, eg. club some sense into you or shriek the house down. So I'm just going to avoid talking about the issue for the next 48 hours and if you're smart, you'll do just the same (after 48 hours, you'd better admit you're in the wrong [img]tongue.gif[/img] ). In the event that you either (i) claim that we should continue talking about it; or (ii) insist that you're in the right after 48 hours, don't blame me for kicking up such a big fuss that you'll regret you opened your mouth in the first place. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] </font>

<font color=pink>O wow Mistral, you hit the nail on the head with that one! Theres been more than one occasion where I've said "You can talk to me again when you realize that I'm right and you're wrong"...they always come back, lol:D</font>

yes that is what i was refering too lady blue

<font color=orchid>Tee hee, I sure am glad some can relate to what I mentioned there, LadyBlue :D I could probably think of a lot more if I had the time to nitpick, but I don't think I'd be making many friends here [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] </font>

A rebuttal list for the women to read.

so, should i say *nothing* or nothing? :D
