Men: Do you understand the meanings behind the words that 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 (refer to No.1).

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 OK: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's OK 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 woman's way of saying Damn 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.

So what else can you add to this list from your experience in understanding women?

    9. "Uh huh, sure honey." or, "Yes, dear." Translated: (Means absolutely nothing -- it's a conditioned response.) 10. "It would take too long to explain." Translated: I haven't the foggiest. 11. "I was listening to you. It's just ... I have lots of things on my mind." Translated: Huh? I wasn't listening. 12. "Take a break honey, you're working too hard." Translated: I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner. 13. "That's interesting, dear." Translated: Oh, are you still talking? 14. "You know how bad my memory is." Translated: I remember the theme song to "F-Troop," the address of the first girl I ever kissed, and the license plate numbers of every car I've had. But I have no idea when your birthday is. 15 "I dunno ... I was just thinking about you, and when I saw these roses I just thought you'd like them." Translated: The girl selling them on the corner was a real babe. 16. "Oh, don't fuss. I just cut myself, it's no big deal." Translated: I've severed a limb, but I'll bleed to death before I admit that I'm hurt. 17. "I've got my reasons for what I'm doing". Translated: ...and I sure hope I think of some soon. 18. "I can't find it." Translated: It didn't fall into my out-stretched hands, so I'm completely clueless. 19. "What did I do this time?" Translated: What did you catch me at? 20. "I heard you." Translated: I have no idea what you just said, and am hoping desperately that I can fake it well enough so that you don't find that out. 21. "You know I could never love anyone else." Translated: I am used to the way you yell at me, and I realize it could be worse. 22. "You look terrific." Translated: Oh God, please don't try on any more clothes! 23. "I'm not lost. I know exactly where we are." Translated: No human will ever see us alive again.

    If men will make a dictionary and 100 books to put them all, women will create new indirect words that men will not understand.

    That's life.
