Subject: Words Women Use

NOTE FROM EDDIE:

This was sent to me by a woman in the newsgroup. Since I am not a
woman, it would explain why what is written below would "go over my
head". For the women in the newsgroup, enjoy this piece of "humor" (as
it relates to your world). Since it will be women who understand what
is written below .... enjoy!

END OF NOTE

HUMOR: WORDS WOMEN USE

FINE

This is the word we use at the end of any argument that we feel we
are right about but need to shut you 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 trash, so I
feel that 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 the
word "Fine."

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 (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 still often a verbal statement
very 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 verbal statement. "Soft Sighs" are one of
the few things that some men actually understand. 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 say
to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before
paying you retributions for whatever it is that you have one. "That's
Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and used in conjunction with
a raised eyebrow "Go Ahead." At some point in the near future when she
has plotted and planned, you are going to be in some mighty big
trouble.

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 to tell 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 hurt
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."

Please send this out to ALL MEN that you know just to warn them
about future arguments they can avoid if remembering all the terminology.

And send to all your women friends to get a good laugh!
