Woman-Speak Translations for Men

I am neither married nor currently in a relationship. So, I have no significant woman in my life to check with on this. But somehow, I suspect this post could have saved many relationships. Men and women both speak English here in the USA, but that does not mean they speak the same language.

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 a 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!
Married bloggers, if it is safe to do so, please educate me on whether these would have been useful in your pre-marriage counselling.
