Here’s a list of nine words men should look out for that women use. These words might be an indicator that you’re in the hot seat. Read the list and be a step ahead of the game:
(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!
(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(you know what!)
(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.
Originated from an email chain letter.
If anything I am probably guilty of 3 and 6. I don't really throw tantrums but there are days when I don't want to be bother with foolishness.

#2! LMBO! So, me! I'm soo slow getting dressed, lol.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm sure I've used all of these along the way.
I rarely use 1 & 3 these days though…I have no problem saying whats on my mind until I feel I've exhausted then convo. Then, I usually say, "whatever" or "forget it" when I'm tired of explaining myself…or if I'm tired of going back and forth.
Well I have to agree, if men were smart they would look out for these words and understand their meaning.
Rest assured that we understand their meaning and we’re sure that we’ll pay later for however you’re feeling. But, in the short-term, you’re using short phrases, single words and gestures. We’ll take that over the “30 minutes to get a 1 minute point across” dissertation any day.
Furthermore, it’s not as if understanding these “lethal words: would somehow protect us from the aforementioned tongue lashing (and not the good kind) anyway.
Other than # 2, this list is not at all exclusive to women.
Nothing can be done about # 2
I use most of these liberally. My favorite is the (quiet) sigh, and “that’s okay”.
I’m convinced that words are worthless in an argument. The least amount of words: the better.
We finally have the first 9 entries to the dictionary.

Let the understanding begin..
Open and honest communication is AWESOME.
I passed all of these tests in one fell swoop. After her lunch break sitting in my car:
12P: So how's your day so far?
Her: Fine
12P: Well I need to de-stress. You know I need that wet mouth. How long until you gotta be back?
Her: Five Minutes
12P: Then we shouldn't waste time. And you know what I want you to do with your hands, right?
Her: Nothing
12P: Good girl. Ready for this dyuh?
Her: Go ahead
12P: *flewp*
Her: *sigh*
12P: Heh. I forgot to take the piercing out.
Her: Thats okay
*4 minutes pass*
12P: Dayum girl. You were on point today. I think we set a new record.
Her: Thanks
12P: My bad, I meant to tell you when.
Her: Whatever
12P: Haha. Want a mint?
Her: Don't worry about it, I got it.
I hate that I laughed at this…LOL!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Too funny!
*spits out last swallow of GOOD Kool-Aid*
I would like to add 10. Oh.
Translated, means, "aw for real, thats how you feel?"
SPOT ON!!! and I have heard a few of these myself so I can vouch. "serious"? Is another one but probably not as 'lethal' as these. I take it as "You're really going to do that (and get me more upset) (make an a$$ out of yourself)
