The office is a wonderful place to share and swap stories around the water cooler.  With the internet, these stories, quirky facts have become that much more illustrative and colorful.

Here’s a nice list compiled of 9 words that women use along with their real definitions.  Without further ado…

1.  Fine

This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

2.  Five Minutes

If she is getting dressed, this means half an hour.  Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3.  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.

4.  Go Ahead

This is a dare, not permission.  Don’t Do It!

5.  Loud Sigh

This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement 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 about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

6.  That’s Okay

This is one of the most dangerous statements a women 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.

7.  Thanks

A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint.  Just say you’re welcome.  (I want to add in a clause here – This is true, unless she says ‘Thanks a lot’ – that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all.  DO NOT say ‘you’re welcome.’  That will bring on a ‘whatever’.

8.  Whatever

Is a woman’s way of saying F- YOU!

9.  Don’t worry about it, I got it

Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself.  This will later result in a man asking ‘What’s wrong?’.  For the woman’s response, refer to #3 of this list.
