And these are actually words, unlike the above list that seems to ignore the meaning of the word… word.

1. Okay: Usually means “I don’t really want this to happen, but in order to get on with my life without you bitching about this for the next 4 months, I’m just going to do it.”

2. What?: Believe it or not, he really does not understand why you’re so emotional. Please stop badgering him for a minute and be the other half of the couple, instead of trying to control him.

3. Well…: Either he’s thinking about how to say this so that he doesn’t activate a tripwire that will send a giant tree trunk of crazy flying at him, or he he has realized what a sociopath you are, and has started to make plans to break this relationship off.

4. Nobody: For a smart man, with sense, WYSIWYG.

5. Dunno: Short for “I don’t know. Now move, I’m doing something here, you annoying succubus.”

6. Nevermind: He’s onto you trying to corner him into saying something out of rage, so he’s not going to talk to you, and he’s going to turn Pantera up. He’d rather have his music screaming at him than listen to you for five more seconds. Got a clue yet?

7. Never: Ahhh! You tried to trick him into revealing something! Hah! Well, he’s not giving you the secret documents that easily! No no no! More questions? Rinse, repeat. Rinse, repeat.

8. Uhh…: “I haven’t run this though through the necessary filters yet, so here’s a TWIX in hopes that you may shut your hole long enough for me to get a word in to actually ANSWER these absurd insecurities.”

9. Nothing: Nothing means nothing. If you asked “What are you thinking about?” And he says nothing, he isn’t trying to keep you out. That is a luxury of being a guy, we can think about absolutely nothing if we want to. It really is great.

(1) Fine: Used in reference to the ring girl on the latest PPV match. Let him look at what he can’t touch.

(2) Five Minutes: More like 3 1/2 minutes, maybe even 4… if you’re lucky. Take what you can get.

(3) Nothing: Usually means he’s hiding something or up to no good. Warrants extra concern when combined with “no one” or “a friend.”

(4) Go Ahead: He’s obviously too focused on Call of Duty to listen to what you’re asking. Now is a good time to get him to agree to whatever you want.

(5) Loud Sigh: You’ve got him where you want him, he’s just realized he can’t win.

(6) That’s Okay: He may actually know what’s good for him…

(7) Thanks: If a man is being polite, he wants in your pants. If he’s being polite after he’s gotten in your pants, it’s a clear indicator that he’s done something wrong and is either feeling guilty or wants you in a good mood before he confesses.

(8) Whatever: He disagrees with what you’re saying but requires as little as 30 minutes of “lecturing” before he will at least pretend to see your point of view.

(9) Don’t worry about it, I got it: Feel free to worry about it because you will have to tell him at least 2 more times before he “gets it” but you will probably end up doing it yourself.
