9 words women use

I have no idea who wrote this but it came to me in an email and I could kind of relate. If by ‘kind of’ you mean totally.

9words 298x300 9 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 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 not 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. (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 woman’s way of saying, I don’t think so, and if you are smart you will do it my way.

(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.

Relate? Any you’d care to add?

whatever! That’s so cool expression, isn’t it? Cuz when I have some problem with a guy, I just say to him “Whatever”.
And it means ‘I don’t care how much pressure you give to me’ or ‘I am just thinking about ending relationship with you, so
now I have to get ready’ kinda thing. so ….

My husband says he always knows when I am not happy when I say “right” but we did have a giggle about ” whatever” ..

“You do whatever you want to do”

that’s my husband’s favourite

My partner and I play our game consols together (yepp there is multiple), it’s a great way to spend time together and have something to bond over. We play co- op games and form strategies together to pass each level. Personally I think it’s a great way to build communication because that discuss and forming strategies then translates into our relationship. Plus it’s me getting involved in something he enjoys and understanding it, instead of smiling and nodding my head.

haha my friends dad used this as part of his wedding speech a few weeks ago – was very funny! and most are pretty true!

“That’s lovely” said genuinely most times bit sometimes with a hint of sarcasm when needed. I also find that I say “that’s interesting” as well…diplomatic way of saying I don’t like something,

Yes, love this one. Use it all the time. 9yo has figured it out – she replies with ‘why not?’.

Or better yet – just bought me a box of my absolute favourite chocolates (from interstate no less!) then when I ask ‘Would you like one?’ (clearly in a tone which indicates IF YOU SAY YES I WILL ENSURE WE NEVER HAVE CHILDREN and almost in an automatic way – darn those inbred manners!) he says yes! Which I follow up with a huff, sigh and glare and mutter ‘You’re not supposed to give a gift then eat the whole thing yourseld’……. sooooooooooo passive-aggressive but seriously guys, sense the tone!!!! This isn’t exclusive to men though, as I have known some women who would have been labelled ‘scabs’ when we were at school

There’s another favorite – “Don’t expect too much” – a disclaimer used at the start of a relationship, meaning “I’ll be able to play up and treat you badly, and you wont be able to do a thing about it.”

Kell Bell says:

Wow, that was harsh. I will politely decline to take your advice as this was meant as a light hearted comment and I am very happy in my relationship. The judgement you passed on the type of person my partner is is way off the mark and while I could go on to explain why I really can’t be bothered justifying myself.

“does anyone want the last chocolate”: tell me you don’t want it, because you understood i wanted it! does anyone mind etc means explicitely “i want the last chocolate”, and let’s face it, it’s a bit rude

Clare says:

I’ve seen this before, it’s just missing a bit that I always thought was classic –

Woman says – “I’m sorry”
Woman means – “You’ll be sorry”

My mum’s favourite is dad with his “can we talk?” which means they are going to argue and he was the king of “if you don’t know i can’t tell you” unfortunately when i was a kid i pointed out to mum that “if he doesn’t tel you how can you know?” WOW that was huge fight when he told him that one. Whoopsie!! now i try to keep my mouth shut…

This isn’t one I use but it’s one hubby uses. It’s “Right” and it means that he is lost for words because I have just made a point he can’t argue against. Or, if I make a point he can’t argue against and says nothing, I’ll say it for him. It’s like the end of the argument. In favour of me, of course hehe

February 6, 2010 at 7:48 pm

it’s not cultural, i’m french, and i’ve lived in different places , it’s gender related really…

February 6, 2010 at 7:46 pm

i’m basially a stomach lol, so if he says chinese and i want italian, i’ll say ”no. italian please.” works good

I’m curious to know if guest is a man because I have a very hard time believing that any intelligent woman having experience with men could ever write such a thing!!! lol

February 6, 2010 at 3:06 pm

My new one which is working is to calmly state: “Perhaps you might like to think carefully about what you just said to me & consider rephrasing that statement/question etc?” All combined with a piercing death stare and possibly a sighed “Right” at the end of his rephrased statement which means “You are a complete idiot & I look forward to the kids hitting 18 & moving out so I can too”. Okay its long-winded but I have a law degree go figure!!!! LOL

February 6, 2010 at 2:53 pm

Perhaps you could quote Kris2040 and tell him to “Get F#cked”. hahah I’m wary of any grown man who plays xbox or any other bloody kids game…..it means they don’t mentally have to grow up….perhaps that’s harsh. BUT anyone whose blaming you for petty rubbish has some serious issues, and they don’t go away unless that person actively acknowledges they are a twot & begins reflecting on their behaviour and then making changes. Trust me it only gets worse as the relationship deepens, and kids come along and marriage. You can’t run away from stuff as easily as when you are unburdened.

What is that thing about Mars and Venus?

Mel says:

February 6, 2010 at 2:09 pm

haha so true.

February 6, 2010 at 1:57 pm

No. All women are wired this way.

February 6, 2010 at 1:53 pm

I find that full of pathos.

February 6, 2010 at 1:52 pm

Why not just ask: “Does anyone mind if I have the last chocolate”?
To ask it the other way could be inferred as meaning: “I want the last one, I know I should not, but I want you to convince me to have it, and clean up the plate.”

Kate says:

As a mother, my favourite is ‘we’ll see’. It means no.

Renee says:

February 6, 2010 at 12:11 pm

haha ditto Peanut!

Miss says:

February 6, 2010 at 12:07 pm

This is hilarious, can’t wait to show my boyfriend, he can’t stand it when I am upset andhe asks whats wrong and I say “Nothing!”

Peanut says:

February 6, 2010 at 8:12 am

We have that one in reverse – I am the messy one. My husband often makes statement like that: ‘There’s lots of your clothes on the floor’. I reply – ‘Yes, there are!’. He then does a big ‘SIGH’.

Kris2040 says:

I reckon it would be doubly as bad with a chick! So kinda stuck, really…

February 6, 2010 at 3:39 am

It’s really weird for me. I DON’T tend to use these kind of phrases much. I seem to be the bloke in most of my relationships! It’s always ME asking “What’s wrong?” and being told “Well if you don’t know what you’ve done, I’m not going to tell you” and stuff that is usually whinged about by guys! I’m always whinging that apparently I am meant to be a mind reader.
I will admit to using “Fine” in that context though. Cos I am usually right.
Very odd, but I am a strong and scary (for some unknown reason) chick, so maybe even though the blokes I go for (and attract) are usually big footy bloke types, they all do this subtle crap that I just don’t get. If you have something to say, say it, have it out and move on! Don’t be such a (sorry – girl) about it! No offence girls! LOL

February 6, 2010 at 3:26 am

Why? I’d just say Get F**ked. LOL!

February 6, 2010 at 3:24 am

Thats hilarious squeak! I might try that.

LOL! I talk to my best mate’s 16 year old on fb. What you been up to? Nothin. How are you? OK Got anything cool coming up? No.

February 5, 2010 at 11:25 pm

Very true! Also, am I the only one that gets blamed for him stuffing up whatever he was doing (playing xbox, bidding on ebay, cutting wood up) because I interupted (read: did anything like talk or move remotely close to him) at the “exact crucial moment”?! He gets quite annoyed at me when this happens (!) but always comes sucking back up after when he realises that he stuffs things up pretty good by himself and was being a right tool earlier!

Where did Tim go, I wonder… computer gremlins or Foot in Mouth?!

This is a great, light hearted post which is nice considering there’ve been a few ‘heavy’ topics lately… glad mostly everyone is getting a laugh out of this… Happy weekend, all xx
