The Words That 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 woman 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 rubbish, 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 with 'Fine'

Go Ahead

At some point in the near future, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.

Go Ahead (With Raised Eyebrows)

This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine".

Go Ahead (Neutral Expression)

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 here and 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 to not move or breathe, 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 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.

Please Do

This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that 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 woman is thanking you. Do not faint. Just say you're welcome.

Thanks A Lot

This is much different from "Thanks." A woman 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"

No offense, but isn't that kind of sexist?

Not sexist if it's true. Plus noda is a nice and refined old lady so it's fine.
I also give it a pass but that really doesn't count for much considering, ya know, I'm me.

Well, you know what they say: "if it's not broke, there's no use fixin' it".

This is the internet so Im pretty sure that doesn't apply.

Sorry, the internet already broke way back in 2018 and nobody has since then, even attempted to fix it. So, I'm pretty sure this rule applies.

Okay, let me rephrase. People are people and people are stupid so that doesn't really apply.

Stupidly is natural, it is engraved in us from when we were born to the day we die. There's no fixing that! What can't be fixed is not considered broken after awhile because there is no point in trying to fix something that can't be fixed any further. Therefore, stupidity is considered fixed because it's already at the farthest that one can fix, rendering it not broken. Fix + Stupidity = Broken = Fixed. There are just some things that can't be fixed. Which means that they are unfixable so it's already fixed. This is the way of the life for humans to be stupid so it's not broken. It sounds a lot more complicated than what it really is. page=dispatch/id=1290407

But that's also my mother in a nutshell, never says exactly what she thinks and makes you fearful of your life if her mood turns sour.

Things change with succeeding generations. Those are from my generation.

You're Welcome. Now you have the complete story.

The Strangers Club wrote:No offense, but isn't that kind of sexist?

Yes, it is. I am a woman and those are a woman's responses in their interactions with men.

Thank You. At 37 years of age, I am an old lady in NationStates.

making observations about the differences between populations is not sexist/racist/xist, but inquiry into the degree of social conditioning that predicates those differences is, as it implies the possibility of biological differences.
Making generalizations of an individual based on group characteristics is at best fallacious.
