Dictionary For Dicussions With Women

  1. "Fine"
       This is the word women use at the end of any argument when
       they feel they are right but can't stand to hear you argue any
       longer. It means that you should shut up. ( NEVER use "Fine"
       to describe how she looks. This will cause you to have one of
       those arguments. )

  2. "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 women feel that it's an even trade.

  3. "Nothing"
      "Nothing" 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 the word "Fine."

  4. "Go Ahead" ( with raised eyebrows )
      This is NOT permission; it's a dare! If you mistake it for
      permission, the result will be the woman will get upset over
     "Nothing" and you'll have a "Five-minute" discussion that
      will end with the word "Fine."

  5. "Go Ahead" ( normal eyebrows )
      This is NOT permission, either. It means "I give up" or "do
      what you want because I don't care." You will get a raised
      eyebrow "Go Ahead" in just an few minutes, followed by
      "Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you in about "Five
      Minutes" when she cools off.

  6. "Loud Sigh"
      This is not actually a word, but is still often a verbal statement.

      Very frequently misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means
      she thinks you are a complete idiot and wonders why she is
      wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over
      "Nothing."

  7. "Soft Sigh"
      Again, not a word, but a verbal statement. "Soft Sighs" are
      one of the few things that some men actually understand. It
      means she is momentarily content. Your best bet is to not
      move or breathe in the hope that the moment will last a bit
      longer.

  8. "Oh"
      This word-followed by any statement-is trouble. Example;
      "Oh, let me get that". Or, "Oh, I talked to him about what
      you were doing last night." If she says "Oh" before a
      statement, run, do not walk, to the nearest exit. She will tell
      you that she is "Fine" when she is done tossing your clothes
      out the window, but do not expect her to talk to you for at
      least two days.

  9. "That's Okay"
      This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman
      can say to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to
      think long and hard before deciding what the penalty will be
      for whatever you have done. "That's Okay" is often used
      with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a raised eyebrow
      "Go Ahead." Once she has had time to plan it out, you are in
      for some mighty big trouble.

10. "Please Do"
      This is not a statement, it is an offer. The woman is giving
      you the chance to come up with an excuse for what you have
      done. In other words, a chance to get yourself into even more
      trouble. If you handle this correctly, you shouldn't get a
      "That's Okay."

11. "Thanks"
      The woman is thanking you. Don't faint and don't look for
      hidden meaning. Just say "you're welcome."

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