a4a Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 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 anhour. 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. 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. *********************************************** I only use #8 and #9 but leads to a #8 not a #3 I only use #8 in public..... I use the direct FU in private.
Kasan Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 I use #5 but I call it my heavy sigh--and # 8 but like you I use the direct FU in private. One of my personals favorites is "What, are you kidding?" or "I would like some of what you are on!" Heavy sigh--back to work!
Lostgurl Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 #1 and #3, I'm guilty as charged. Man, he HATES it when he asks me, "What's wrong?" I reply with nothing. If it was something that i needed to talk to him about, then i would. We are still working on our communication, and i'm hesitant to go to him at times, so if it's something that i can work out by myself, or something that isn't important enough to talk about i don't see any reasoning in saying anything, because at times it starts an arguement, then #1 comes into play.
dropdeadlegs Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 I've been guilty of using all of these at one time, but the one I still use pretty regularly is #1. I long ago learned that arguing my point ad finitem (sp?) gets both of us nowhere. A few short comments and I'm "fine." I did use #9 a few weeks ago and it was very effective, meaning I think HE ended up "getting it." However, I used it in a different context. For instance, I had spent most of the day assisting with a problem with the aerator of his private sewer system. It was hot and I stood in the sun waiting for instructions such as, "can you get me a pipe wrench?" and "okay, plug it in" followed by "unplug it." Later, I asked him to join me in the kitchen while I prepared the meal, just asking for company not even assistance. He replied that he was watching a movie, "Flight of the Phoenix" to be exact, a movie we had seen together. I went on to explain "Okay, so I spent all day assisting you and generally keeping you company while doing your chore, yet when I want a little company, you're busy. It's okay, I get it now." Minutes later he was asking if he could help. #'s 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 used to be BIG parts of my daily conversations. I have always used #7. I'm grateful for just about anything. #2 isn't my style. It takes me far longer than 5 minutes to get ready. However my man truly can shower and dress inside of 5 minutes. I tend to over exaggerate the time I will be ready so I always come out better than expectations.
whichwayisup Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 8.) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying #*#* YOU! This one definately!!! When my H gets on my nerves and he's in a nitpickin' mood, I just say to him, Yup, Yup, Whatever...(Important note - DO NOT make eye contact when saying 'whatever...' LOL!) If I'm pissed at him, I'll let him know and why.
Touche Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Actually none of them. I say what I mean and mean what I say. Works for me.
sb129 Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 All of them at some point or another.. trying to take a leaf out of Touches book more now though..
Cerise Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 #3 is the biggist one for me, I use it way too much! I know he dosn't like it when I say it but when he asks me what is wonge I am ussally trying to avoid an argument and hoping he will figure it out. #5 I often use to but it usally results in a #3 #9 somtimes, I will often say "It's ok, I't done" cause I don't usally say anything until I have already taken care of whatever I asked to be done. And often it will be followed by a #5 and then a #3. on ocaison I have used a #4 when shopping, I look after the money cause he can't and it always leads to him asking for things, I use #4 when he already clearly knows we can't afford somthing and asks anyways. I really wish I could be more like Touche! I often say what I mean when I am irritated, not mad, when I am mad I say a whole lot more but the say what i mean usally comes after a 3,5,4 or 9, when really it should come before!
PandorasBox Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 These are the ones I have used before. 1.) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. 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! 7.) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome. 8.) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying #*#* YOU!
Woggle Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 If a woman used anything but number 2 on me(I do accept that women need to doll themselves up)I would kick her to the curb.
PandorasBox Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 If a woman used anything but number 2 on me(I do accept that women need to doll themselves up)I would kick her to the curb. Even number 7 Woggle, when she is thanking you?
Woggle Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 7 too. Other than that though I don't play these games.
