From what I can understand these words are used to cover up some kind of insecurity regarding direct confrontation. My ex gf would cop out of discussions/arguments all the time by using words like "Fine" or any of the other subtle phrases you females like to drop. I found that this most often happened when she didn't want to confront me about something. My eventual solution was to respond with extreme coldness and uncaring. It drove her insane. I refuse to deal with bullshit games and subtle phrases/hints. If there's something wrong tell me otherwise I don't really care. I'm extremely impatient with emotional reactions or anything illogical for that matter. Yay for growing up with a stone cold (he's gotten softer with age ) corporate lawyer for a father. I really do need to learn how to not deal with people the same way I deal with business. Cut throat and ruthless are not always the greatest way to go about discussions with friends.

*muses over this*

Note: "The Book of Five Rings", and "The Prince" are bibles to me.

I love the C word... cracked me up when I over in Dublin hearing how often it was dropped.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, should I start a trend?

Originally posted by EvilTree 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.

Wheres the rest of them? I got this in an email about a year or so ago... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY! But theres even more ppl! Gonna hafta see if I cant find it at home and post the rest of it!

They drop it much more casually than we do I've noticed that. But for some reason they make it sound less offensive.

I don't think that word can be made less offensive, lol. You just get desensitized.

yah same here... i use it a lot (but then again i lived in Ireland and the UK)!
I just don't see what the big deal is about it People call each other pussies without a problem without anyone saying "OMG YOU SAID THE P WORD!! TAKE IT BACK! TAKE IT BACCCCKKKK!" lol

Whatever it may take I keep on trying.

Obscenity is defined by the community you live in. Thus if a community became desensitized to something it would in fact be less offensive.
