Some Female Words De-coded

1. "Fine" This is the word women use at the end of any argument when they feel they are right but can’t stand to hear you argue any longer. It means that you should shut up. (Never use "fine" to describe how she looks. This will cause you to have one of those arguments.)

2. "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 bin, so women feel it’s an even trade.

3. "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".

4. "Go Ahead" (with raised eyebrows) This is NOT permission; it’s a dare! If you mistake it for permission, the result will be that the woman will get upset over "Nothing" and you’ll have a "Five Minute" discussion that will end with the word "Fine".

5. "Go Ahead" (normal eyebrows) This is NOT permission either. It means "I give up" or "do what you want, because I don’t care". You will get a raised eyebrow "Go Ahead" in a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.

6. "Loud Sigh" This is not actually a word, but is still, often, a verbal statement very frequently misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are a complete idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing".

7. "Soft Sigh" Again, not a word, but a verbal statement. "Soft Sigh" is one of the few things that men actually understand. It means that she is momentarily content. Your best bet is to not move, or breathe, in the hope that the moment will last a bit longer.

8. "Oh" This word, followed by any statement, is trouble. Example; "Oh, let me get that," or "Oh, I talked to him about what you were doing last night". If she says "Oh" before a statement - run, do not walk, to the nearest exit. She will tell you that she is "Fine" when she is done tossing your clothes out the window, but do not expect her to talk to you for at least two days. "Oh" as the lead to a sentence usually signifies that you are caught in a lie. Do not try to lie more to get out of it or you’ll get a raised eyebrow "Go Ahead".

9. "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 deciding what the penalty will be for whatever you have done. "That’s Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a raised eyebrow "Go Ahead". Once she has had time to plan it out, you are in for some mighty big trouble.

10. "Please Do" This is not a statement, it is an offer. The woman is giving you the chance to come up with an excuse for whatever you have done. In other words, a chance to get yourself into even more trouble. If you handle this correctly, you shouldn’t get a "That’s Okay".

11. "Thanks" The woman is just thanking you. Don’t faint and don’t look for hidden meaning. Just say "you’re welcome".

12. "Thanks a Lot" This is dramatically different from "Thanks". A woman will say "Thanks a Lot" when she is really mad at you. It is usually followed by the "Loud Sigh". This signifies that you have hurt her in some callous way. Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh" as she will only tell you "Nothing".

Kissing your ass good-bye

An old man, a boy and a donkey were going to town. The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked. As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding. The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.

Later, they passed some people that remarked, What a shame, he makes that little boy walk. They then decided they both would walk.

Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey.

Now they passed some people that shamed them by saying how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey. The boy and man said they were probably right, so they decided to carry the donkey.

As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and he fell into the river and drowned.

The moral of the story? If you try to please everyone, you might as well kiss your ass good-bye.

Bloke driving around in his Porsche in the countryside. Stops outside a field full of sheep, walks up to the shepherd and says, "I’ve got an offer. I’ll guess how many sheep you’ve got in this field, and if I guess right, I get to take a sheep with me, and if I guess wrong, you get my car".

Shepherd thinks he’s on to a sure thing and agrees.

"137" says the driver.

"Damn me, you’re right", says the shepherd and dutifully hands over a sheep.

Man walks away, stuffs a sheep in car, and is about to drive away when the shepherd knocks on his window.

"I’ve got a proposal for you. If I can guess what you do for a living, I get to take your car. If I’m wrong, you can have all my sheep".

"Done", says the driver.

"You’re a consultant", says the shepherd.

"Bloody hell, how did you guess?"

"Easy. You come in here uninvited, you tell me what I already know, and then you charge me for it".
