Fine...

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 5 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

Although not actually a word, the loud sigh is 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 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

This is the least used of all words in the female vocabulary. If a woman is thanking you. Do not question it, just say you're welcome and back out of the room slowly. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

All true, but if you ignore the code and use English it puts them on the back foot in just the way such codes are meant to put us there. Bold I may sound, unpopular I often am, but it is very hard for anyone to argue with plain English. One last thing; a bollocking is only a bollocking if it is fair, reasonable and accepted as such by the bollockee. If not ignore it. All will be resolved next time her car fails to start.
Relationships eh? The dance of negotiation.
