"What I really meant to say was..."

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 I am 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 I think you are an idiot and wonder why I am wasting my 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 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.
