Kata-kata perempuan dan artinya..

1. Fine = This world women use to end an argumen when they are right and you need to shut up
2. Five Minutes = if she getting dressed, it means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you just have 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. argument that begin with nothing is usually end with fine.
4. Go Ahead = this is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.
5. Loud Sigh = This is actually a word, but its a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. a loud sigh means she thinks you're an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing her and arguing bout nothing (read #3 to see what 'nothing' means)
6. That's okay = this is one of he most dangerous statement women can make to a man. thats okay means she wants to think a long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistakes.
7. Thanks = a women is thanking you, dont question or faint. just say you're welcome (i want to add some clause here - this is true, unless she said "thanks-a-lot" - that is pure SARCASM and she's not thanking you at all. do not say 'you're welcome' that will brings you a "WHATEVER").
8. Don't worry about it, i got it = another dangerous statement, meaning this is women has told a man to do several times, but its now she's doing her self. this will later result a man asking "whats wrong?" and then a women often say "...look at #3"
