This list is floating around the Internet, and I just had to share it with all of you women out there! Whoever wrote this sure got it right!
The nine words women use:
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!
To keep reading, read more
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 OK
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 #@!% YOU!
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.
Since I know you have said each one of these nine words at least once, tell me which number is your all time favorite response!

I actually never use any of these unless they're the valid answer. I hate ending a conversation with "Fine" or "Nothing." If things aren't find and something is wrong, I don't claim otherwise.
And "five minutes" means five minutes for me. If I'm going to take longer, I say so. I absolutely hate being told "just a couple more minutes" and still waiting half an hour. That and I only take about three minutes to get dressed.
The only time I can ever say I've used "Go ahead" is when I mean it. "I'm going to the game on Friday night." "Ok, go ahead, cool. I'll rent a movie and veg with the kids."
1hahahaha, these are very right and awesome!!!!!! #4 Go Ahead is my very favorite but I don't think I use that one very much. I use #1 Fine, the most I think. lol!
2They are so right on. I think I use them all! And often too..
3Ooo, or I also use #3 Nothing, a lot. I admire you Greggie, and I am trying to be more like that.
4I usually hates lists like this but this one's really spot-on with me.
5I use them all but Fine is mine!
6The only one i use is 8.
7hahaha i love the "i got it" hahaha
8Well I like Greggie, don't do the "5 minutes" thing often just ebcause I can't fundtion when someone is waiting for me I also can't stand waiting for other people, so I usually say it straight out if I'll take a while.
9But I guess "fine" and "loud sighs" are like my trademark I do them all the time, otherwise I probably wouldn't have any friends.
I have said 'whatever' a few times before - not in a malicious way but yes to mean I am sick of this just go away and be quiet. I also say nothing, but only before I decide whether I am mad or not!
10I never do the 5minute thing or the fine thing though.
I don't use half of them!
11except for " i got it" I'm guilty of all!
12Haha, wow! Really accurate! I love it!
13These 9 words are so true. I can recall each and every time I've used each one of these words. Awesome list.
14"nine words in a list used to stereotype women unnecessarily"
15I'm a "I'm fine" girl. Lol. Not always a good thing.
16OMG, this is so on-the-money...I use all of these!
17too funny!
18Hahahahahaha sounds like a convo with my boyfriend....ha.
19aimeeb! i agree.. reading through this was like a convo with my bf. haha i think everyone uses these in one form or another! i do it without even thinking sometimes. im most guilty of "nothing"- but its mostly just my way to stop the proding of an issue so i can move on! and the "go ahead" is right on the money. i love it!! although my "thats ok" means exactly that- if you forgive a guy for something and try to punish him later the issue is already longggg gone in his head and you're too late!
20I am very guilty of the loud sigh and "fine." Unfortunately, most of these are very true for me.
21HAHAHA "don't worry about it I got it!"
22definitely. exasperation galore hello?! `
LOL I love the loud sigh... I feel bad sometimes, I get how it's confusing that sometimes saying "Go ahead" really means go ahead, but really, it all has to be taken in context with the conversation. It's not THAT hard
23I say, "nothing", "fine", "whatever" and I do the sigh!
But I do say, "thanks" a lot too!
♥ ♥ ♥
24I always say "nothing." LOL. Funny list!
25OM! how true was that?!?!
26hahah exactly right
27I use all of them except number two, mainly because I don't feel like arguing, or I'm too mad to have a conversation without saying something I'll regret later. However, 'Thanks' is the one I use the most, as my boyfriend figured out that if he gets 'brownie points' racked up, it's a lot harder for me to stay mad at him 'cause I feel guilty.
28I pretty much use all of them and for exactly the same meanings you gave
29I use Nothing and Watever very often and the 5 min is so true too!! LOL
30i just sent this link to my boyfriend, for future reference!
31haha. I do try to be open in my relationships but I use the "whatever" and "I got it" one a lot
32Damn, I would've said this is sexist except... I use all of these all the time!! To be fair, my bf does too-- especially "nothing". Pouty. I did send this to him, I think he'll get a laugh out of it.
33Oh, I'm a "don't worry about it. I got it" followed with or accompanying a ;-{ nice frowney face. I'm glad that my fiancee doesn't read this page -- we can't let him know ALL of our secrets. (I want him to think that I'm fair AND sane until after we're married!)
34Number 3, 5, 6 (sometimes), and 8.
35The only one I use where it doesn't mean the dictionary definition is "fine" which does, in fact translate to "I'm right; shut up". It is, in fact, sometimes the only way I can get my boyfriend to stop arguing.
36OMG! So true! I use these!lol.
37I actually do use most of those words. How funny!
38Funny but not accuare for me!
39Oh, man. I use all of those except for "Go ahead," the five minute rule, and the loud sigh. I usually do an eye roll instead of the sigh.
My boyfriend was reading this over my shoulder and he kept chuckling. He says he always knows something is wrong when I say "nothing" or "fine."
40"nine words in a list used to stereotype women unnecessarily"
sogracefully - right on. I've seen men use these. It's really not exclusive to one gender over the other. What's with the "Those crazy, irrational women! They'll mess with your head, fellas!" tone?
Dear douche bag who wrote the list:
#@!% YOU!
Sincerely,
Looseseal
A cousin of mine is always sending me stupid list spams like this - he's now on my blocked junk mail list.
41HAHA soo funny and true. 'Go ahead...'
42why do women do this? men like it when women say what they actually want to say. why would a rational woman say "code words" that clearly mean something else, when they actually say what is going on. i've found that it is much better to be honest and blunt in a relationship and not say "fine" or "go ahead" when i don't really mean it.
you can't tell a man that something is "fine" and then get mad when they do it. that is ridiculous.
43Haha I saw the little "movie" that goes with this and it's so true. I use them ALL the time...especailly NOTHING!
44I use all of them...
Then again, my husband uses "nothing" then I get the fight at bed time when I'm half asleep and can't formulate and arguement
45I've referred to FINE! as the female "F word" for a long time!
46just 3. NOTHING is the one i use
47guilty of all the above esp fine and hte loud sigh. tryign to cut back
48"Fine." that's my favorite. I used it just last week. I think it served its purpose.
49I do most all of them, but I use, "whatever," most in an argument.
