Subject Line: 9 Words I Guess Men Should Know

I was copied on a foward of the following email. The subject line fits well with the content....like he reluctantly understood that it was good information to have. I also felt that he was also resigned to getting caught in "the trap" anyway.

9 WORDS WOMEN USE -
THE MEANING OF WHICH
MEN NEED TO KNOW

1. Fine:
This is a word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. Now.
2. Five Minutes:
This is a tricky one. If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes only really means five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house or leaving to go shopping.
3. Nothing:
This is the calm before the storm. This definitely means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with Nothing usually end with 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 has deemed you an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here arguing with you about nothing. (Refer 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 contemplate long and hard before determining exactly how and when you will pay for your mistake.
7. Thanks:
A woman is thanking you. Do not question, or pass out. Simply say, "You're welcome."
8. Whatever:
This a woman's way of saying GO F@!K YOURSELF! Southern women don’t say "whatever." They say "aren’t you cute" or "bless your heart." Do not be fooled: this also means GO F@!K YOURSELF!
9. Don't worry about it, I got it:
Another extremely dangerous statement. This means that she has told a man to do something several times, but he has obviously failed, and she is now doing it herself. This is not good, and will later result in the man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to #3.



*Share this with the men you know, to educate them about frustration they can avoid if they learn and remember the terminology.

*Share this with the women you know to give them a good laugh, because they know it's true.
