Help for husbands...

Speaking from experience...here are a few words and their TRUE definitions to help those husbands (and/or boyfriends) who don’t quite understand the vernacular of the female persuasion.

FINE

This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right, and you need to shut up.

FIVE MINUTES

If she is getting dressed, this is 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.

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.”

GO AHEAD

This is a dare, not permission. Don’t do it!

LOUD SIGH

This is not actually a word, but a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means that she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over “Nothing.”

THAT’S OKAY

This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. “That's okay” means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.   

THANKS

A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint.

Just say, “You’re welcome.”   

WHATEVER

It’s a woman’s way of saying, “You are in BIG TROUBLE!”

“If a man understands one woman, he should let it go at that.”
