Words & Wordplay - September 2007

On this forum I once belonged too, every word even a word that wasn't offensive like Cockney for example would be changed into spoons.

Wierd and I have still have no idea why they chose the word spoons for.

What would you fill in the blank with? Best answer gets 10 points. I would say "Bacon is nature's candy."

What about you?

FINE
This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use "fine" to describe how a woman looks - this will cause you to have one of those arguments.

FIVE MINUTES
This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's an even trade.

NOTHING
This means "something," and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with "Fine"

GO AHEAD (With Raised Eyebrows! )
This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine"

GO AHEAD (Normal Eyebrows)
This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care" You will get a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.

LOUD SIGH
This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment, and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing"

SOFT SIGH
Again, not a word, but a non-verbal statement. "Soft Sighs" mean that she is content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe, and she will stay content.

THAT'S OKAY
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you back for whatever it is that you have done. "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a "Raised Eyebrow."

GO AHEAD!
At some point in the near future, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.

PLEASE DO
This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance with the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay"

THANKS
A woman is thanking you. Do not faint. Just say you're welcome.

THANKS A LOT
This is much different from "Thanks." A woman will say, "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have offended her in some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh." Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh," as she will only tell you "Nothing

I have a friend, Jack Russell, who used to be a boxer. He started out fighting down by the docks under the moniker “The Great Dane.” He was easy to spot in a crowd which is how he met that Irish lassie. Once he heard that husky voice of hers, he was never the same. I never liked that breed of woman, a high-toned, know-it-all with her nose always in the air, but he tailed after her like a lost puppy from the time he first laid eyes on her. I tried to tell him he was barking up the wrong tree, but I didn’t want to hound him too much.

She had set her mind to having him achieve bigger things, and dogged him everyday to take bigger matches. But she had no one to point her in the right direction, so her efforts to shepherd his career failed miserably. Eventually, she lost a lot of money to an Asian promoter named Shih Tzu. Jack tried to retrieve her money, but eventually sold his signed copy of the “The Maltese Falcon” and gave the money to her. Of course she abandoned Jack when she realized he had no future, eventually marrying a well-to-do gentleman with the high-faluting name of Basset Griffon Vendeen.

Jack never did hit the big time and retired broke. The only reminder of his former boxing career is a pug nose. I recently traveled by Greyhound to see him and was surprised at the change in him. He no longer had that bull dog tenacity about him, and his once happy demeanor had been replaced by a continual hangdog look. I can see his life has really gone to the dogs and have no idea how to make him a champion contender again.
