MEN LANGUAGE | WHAT IT REALLY MEANS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE |
I'm going fishing | I'm going to drink myself
dangerously stupid and stand by a stream with a stick in my hand, while the fish swim by
in complete safety |
It's a guy thing | There is no rational thought
pattern connected with it, and you have no chance at all of making it logical |
Can I help with dinner? | Why isn't it already on
the table? |
Uh huh, Sure, honey, or Yes, dear |
Absolutely nothing. It's a conditioned response |
It would take too long to explain |
I have no idea how it works |
I'm getting more exercise lately |
The batteries in the remote are dead |
We're going to be late | Now I have a
legitimate excuse to drive like a maniac |
Take a break, honey, you're working too hard |
I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner |
That's interesting, dear |
Are you still talking? |
Honey, we don't need material things to prove our love | I forgot our anniversary again |
You expect too much of me |
You want me to stay awake? |
That's women's work | It's difficult, dirty, and thankless |
You know how bad my memory is | I remember the theme song to 'F Troop', the address
of the first girl I ever kissed and the Vehicle Identification Numbers of
every car I've ever owned, but I forgot your birthday |
Oh, don't fuss. I just cut myself, it's no big deal |
I have severed a limb, but will bleed to death before
I admit I'm hurt |
I do help around the house |
I once put a dirty towel in the laundry basket |
Hey, I've got my reasons for what I'm doing |
I sure hope I think of some reasons pretty soon |
I can't find it |
It didn't fall into my outstretched hands, so I'm completely clueless |
What did I do this time? |
What did you catch me doing? |
I heard you | I haven't the foggiest clue what
you just said, and am hoping desperately that I can fake it well enough so that you don't
spend the next days yelling at me |
You look terrific | Oh, God, please don't try on
one more outfit. I'm starving |
I missed you | I can't find my sock drawer, the
kids are hungry and we are out of toilet paper |
I'm not lost. I know exactly where we are |
I'm lost. I have no idea where we are, and no one will ever see us alive again. |
We share the housework |
I make the messes, you clean them up |
This relationship is getting too serious |
You're cutting into the time I spend with my truck |
I don't need to read the instructions |
I am perfectly capable of screwing it up without printed help |
