Advice for men - words women use.

FINE: This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use "Fine" to describe how a women looks - this will cause you to have one of those arguments.
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 it's an even trade.
NOTHING: This 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 in "Fine"
GO AHEAD (With Raised Eyebrows):  This is a dare. One that will result in a women getting upset over "Nothing" and will end in the word "Fine"
GO AHEAD (Normal Eyebrows): This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care." You will get a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.
LOUD SIGH: This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment, and wonders why she is wasting her time standing there arguing with you over "Nothing"
SOFT SIGH: Again, not a word, but a non-verbal statement. "Soft Sighs" mean that she is content. Your best bet is not to say anything, and she will stay content.
THAT'S OKAY: This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means its Not Okay and that she wants to think long and hard before paying you back for whatever it is that you have done. "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a "Raised Eyebrow"
GO AHEAD: At some point in the near, future, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.
PLEASE DO: This is not a statement, it is an offer. A women is giving you the chance to come up with whatever lame excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is you have done. You have a fair chance with the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay"
THANKS: A women is thanking you. Do not faint. Just say you're welcome.
THANKS A LOT: This is much different from "Thanks." A women will say, "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have offended her in some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh." Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh", as she will only tell you "Nothing" followed by the use of woman's most insulting word - JERK.
