| WHAT MEN SAY. | WHAT MEN REALLY MEAN........ |
| "That's women's work" | "It's difficult, dirty, and thankless....and I aint doin' it!" |
| "We share the housework" | "I make the messes, she cleans them up." |
| "I'm not lost, I know exactly where we are" | "No one will ever see us alive again." |
| "You look terrific" | "Oh, please don't try on one more outfit; I'm starving." |
| "You know I could never love anyone else" | "I am used to the way you yell at me and realize it could be worse." |
| "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." |
| "Oh, don't fuss, I just cut myself; it's no big deal" | "I have actually severed a limb, but will bleed to death before I admit I'm hurt." |
| "I was just thinking about you, and got you these roses" | "The girl selling them on the corner was a real babe." |
| "It's a really good movie" | "It's got guns, knives, fast cars, and beautiful women." |
| "Take a break, honey, you're working too hard" | "I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner." |
| "Can I help with dinner?" | "Why isn't it already on the table?" |
| "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." |
| "It would take too long to explain" | "I have no idea how it works." |
| "Uh huh," "Sure, honey," or "Yes, dear" | really means absolutely nothing; it's a conditioned response. |
| "We're going to be late" | "Now I have a legitimate excuse to drive like a maniac." |
| "That's interesting, dear" | "Are you still talking?" |
| "What did I do this time?" | "What did you catch me at?" |
| "Hey, I've got my reasons for what I'm doing" | "And I sure hope I think of some pretty soon." |
| "I can't find it" | "It didn't fall into my outstretched hands, so I'm completely clueless." |
| "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 three days yelling at me." |
