Women’s Vocabulary

Published May 23, 2012 by LoveGurus

Nine words women use and their true meaning!

“Fine”   This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to be quiet.

“Five Minutes”  If she is getting dressed, this means half an hour. Five minutes is really only five minutes if you have just been given five 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”    This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A long sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time on you.

“That’s okay”    This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman 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.

“Thanks”   It means thanks. Do not question it. Just say, “You’re welcome”.

“Whatever”   It means f@%k you.
