A Guide for Men to know what women mean when they say:

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 just been 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 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 
Although not actually a word, the loud sigh is 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 over "Nothing". 

That's Okay 
This is one of the most dangerous statements that 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 
This is the least used of all words in the female vocabulary. If a woman is
thanking you, do not question it, just say you're welcome and back out of
the room slowly.
