AND, the Number One thing only women understand:

1. OTHER WOMEN

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 been just 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 usually 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 not actually a word, but is a nonverbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idio 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.

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

"WHATEVER"-... (it's a woman's way of saying *!#@ YOU!)
