Someone actually posted this on a Mom's forum I am on, so I figured it may not run in the same circles of e-mail forwarding and whathave. I thought some of you would get a kick out of it. Not the most cleverly written, but the sentiment is amusing.

Fine.
This is the word women use to end an argument when
they are right and you need to shut up. No you cannot
be right so you might as well just leave her alone
until she speaks to you again.

Five minutes.
If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour or
more. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have
just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game
before helping around the house.

Nothing.
This is the calm before the storm. This always 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. You risk
life and limb in pursuit of this and death may be
preferable in the end.

*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 over "Nothing".

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 deciding how and
when you will pay for your mistake. Possibly the
coroner will be able to identify your body after she
kills you.

Thanks.
A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint.
Just say you're welcome.

Send this to the men you know to warn them about
future arguments they can avoid if they remember the
terminology!

Oh, and before we forget "Whatever"...it's a woman's
way of saying "Are you really that stupid?" while she
looks for the most painful way to make you suffer a
slow and agonizing death.
