What did you mean?Here are 9 responses women use in conversations with men. You must know this stuff because you are getting set up.

  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.
  8. Whatever: Is a women’s way of saying its useless.
  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.

I was listening to Mike Tirico on the radio today and he was talking about teams he likes and such. He then dropped, “well Michigan is my team-in-law.” I’ve never heard the term - but I love it. I looked around the ‘net for a definition and couldn’t find anything - so here’s a stab at it.

team-in-law - noun

  1. An obligated devotee, follower, or admirer of a sports team due to marital influence.

My team-in-law is the University of Tennessee. My wife’s an alumni and loves “The Big Orange”.

Yes, the kids are back in school. The Mrs. and I had to do a little victory dance this morning.

Back to school

With it being over 100°F for the past two weeks. My son and everyone from the neighborhood have been playing GuitarHero nonstop. If my wife hears “Surrender” one more time she’s going to explode.
