Guy Talk, translated

IT'S A GUY THING"
Translated: "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?"
Translated: "Why isn't it already on the table?"

"UH HUH," "SURE, HONEY," OR "YES, DEAR"
Translated: Absolutely nothing. It's a conditioned response.

"IT WOULD TAKE TOO LONG TO EXPLAIN"
Translated: "I have no idea how it works."

"I WAS LISTENING TO YOU. IT'S JUST THAT I HAVE THINGS ON MY MIND."
Translated: "I was wondering if that redhead over there is wearing a bra."

"TAKE A BREAK HONEY, YOU'RE WORKING TOO HARD."
Translated: "I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner."

"THAT'S INTERESTING, DEAR."
Translated: "Are you still talking?"

"YOU KNOW HOW BAD MY MEMORY IS."
Translated: "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."

"I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU, AND GOT YOU THESE ROSES."
Translated: "The girl selling them on the corner was a real babe."

"OH, DON'T FUSS - I JUST CUT MYSELF, IT'S NO BIG DEAL."
Translated: "I have actually severed a limb, but will bleed to death before I admit that I'm hurt."

"I CAN'T FIND IT."
Translated: "It didn't fall into my outstretched hands, so I'm completely clueless."

"WHAT DID I DO THIS TIME?"
Translated: "What did you catch me at?"

"I HEARD YOU."
Translated: "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."

"YOU KNOW I COULD NEVER LOVE ANYONE ELSE."
Translated: "I am used to the way you yell at me, and realize it could be worse."

"YOU LOOK TERRIFIC."
Translated: "Oh, God, please don't try on one more outfit, I'm starving."

"I'M NOT LOST. I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE."
Translated: "No one will ever see us alive again."

I've heard a few of those!

I just sent them to my husband... I am waiting for his reply.

I just forwarded that to my hubby too.

"I CAN'T FIND IT."
Translated: "It didn't fall into my outstretched hands, so I'm completely clueless."

This is definitely true around my house!

Oh my gosh, I feel a myspace bulletin in the works!!!!

(how cliche am *I*?)

Thanks, that made me laugh! It's so completely true around my house!

My DH sure does fall into a couple of those categories! Especially: "I WAS LISTENING TO YOU. IT'S JUST THAT I HAVE THINGS ON MY MIND."
Translated: "I was wondering if that redhead over there is wearing a bra."
&
"I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU, AND GOT YOU THESE ROSES."
Translated: "The girl selling them on the corner was a real babe."

The whole lot apply to me but these 4 are my absolute favourites.
The "I HEARD YOU" one is extremely difficult for me to pull off coz she asks. "what did I say" Sometimes I manage to somehow recall a few words that I did hear and make a sentence using them. It works about 87% of the time.

The "YOU LOOK TERRIFIC" would have to be my most commonly used sentence when we go shopping.

Hey only about half of those are true for all men. The other half is only true for 99% of us. But they sure are good for a laugh.

I only pulled that off once. I tripped him up with "what did i say?". Ever since he manages to listen enough to form a sentence.

I'd e-mail these to Pat, but unless the e-mail fell into his outstretched hands there's little chance he'd find it. I'll have to print it and give it to him tonight. Or better yet, post it next to the list of phrases women use that graces our refrigerator door.
