My husband sent this to me.....apparently several of his friends are passing this around to each other.
And I thought we hid it better than this!
Here they are: 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 F-- 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.

Laugh out loud at the truth (and recognition) in this. Just this morning as I was hanging a picture and making all kinds of noise (maybe on purpose). My husband asked what I was doing. As if he didn't know. I had asked him several times to hang it because I have a hard time getting my left arm up due to an injury. So I got to say "Dont worry about it, I got it." But I won't get to say "nothing" because he went to go do the grocery shopping. That was a fair trade off I thought!!!
Oh my goodness. This is sooo funny. I do see myself too. Men should read this. Maybe they will be able to understand us a little better. When I say whatever: means watch out I am very upset and don't want to talk to you anymore on the subject. Forget about it.
Feel free to send this on to the men in your life. My husband got it from his friends~!
Love the starfish logo you are using.
LOL....not stealing, I promise~! Took this pic at the San Fran Aquarium when I visited with my son a few years back. Nice memory.
I didn't think that way at all. I truly do love it. :-) Have you read the Starfish poem and the starfish parable? That's why I chose it as my "logo" years ago. :-)
These are so true and funny too. Especially since my hubby and I just got in a huge fight today.
All is calm now but I probably used most of them during the day :-)
I just read it to my DH and he is in total agreement with this. All I needed to do is look in the mirror to know he was right. Thanks, I needed a laugh after a lond day at work. With brides. God luv em.
This is not only funny but true, I recognized a few that men use....But one that they need to add is
Forget it: Because she knows he usually does, but she won't..and when the time is ripe she will remind him.
How true!!
And that rounds it on to TEN....
I used to say "WHATEVER" to my ex whenever it came down to me saying "F---YOU!!! He got the message every time. "DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT" was also a favorite of mine. Towards the end of our relationship - I was using each and every one of these phrases. It's amazing how stupid men are. You would think that by the time they hit their teens they would've figured out all these sayings and do their best NOT to make us have to say them.
That was really funny! I'll have to print this out for my husband.
Thanks for sharing this. I really had to laugh as I have been know to use those words.
Love it, love it, love it! Made my day ;-)
I married beneath me - all women do. -Nancy Lady Astor
THANKS. needed a good laugh! Guilty as charged.
So funny, too true. I'm giving a copy to my husband, maybe now we'll start communicating.
