This is a guest blog submitted by nursejenna.(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 woman 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 women's way of saying ____ 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.

And that's about everything in a nutshell.
I have found this decoding matrix to be frequently true. Unfortunately. I do so prefer more blunt communication.
I had a good laugh...but also realized I do all this to my poor fiance!
Too many experiences with number 3 =/
most of it, if not all of it, is very true,
LOL such words of wisdom...:)
woot! right on the dot!
WELL SAID! I've realized I'm guilty of all of these. Poor boyfriend of mine. It makes me more thankful for him. :)
hahahah...this is probably another reason why women can be so complicated sometime.
Umm, this can't be original. I've read this in email forwards several times over throughout the last several years.
Rofl., I think I've read this list before. But it's still so true sometimes it hurts, haha.
so true.
Yep yep.
How sexist. Good job.
Haha I love this list though I've read it so many times before.
My most frequently used one is "Nothing". : P
Really, that's what a long-sigh means?
This whole time, I've been doing the: 'quick! hold her until she calms down' method. *forgives me* usually...other times TT.TT
Ow. It tingles to think about it.
Though, I usually try to stay in their good graces.
I thought a loud sigh is also used for getting the attention of your SO?
At least that's what I do.
so truee.. i wonder if i'll ever be able to marry a girl lol
Seriously that is amazing.. basically sums up everything!!!! Now guys have exactly NO excuse for being idiots when they dont understand what we are saying.!! Awesome Post
I'm actually proud to say that I don't use any of those listed words at all. I hate it when people say one thing and mean another. I've always told my boyfriend that if I say something, I mean it. I'm not about to say something and intend for it to mean something else. This is not a test. This is not something you should automatically know. When something is bothering me, I say it. If I am really okay, then I am really okay. Words are sometimes all we have and if they're manipulated like that, then well, you really don't have much.
absolutely right. [shrug]
This is so entirely true...
@Mitsuye@xanga - I like that. =]
this list is always a good read.
"that's okay" is the scariest one lol.
women do these things.I feel like you shouldn’t generalize this vocabulary to
all women. I certainly don’t do numbers 2, 5,6,7. Besides that, it was pretty
entertaining.
