"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 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: "That girl standing on the corner is a real babe."
"Take a break honey, you're working too hard." Translated: "I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner."

Tsk, tsk. Such stereotyping :-)
Loved it.
Two of the happiest marriages I have had the pleasure witness are my parent's and my Sister Lynda & BIL Rick's. My Dad and Rick both have the same philosophy and response when asked about the secret to a long and happy marriage - It's the ability to say "Yes, Dear" with the proper tone and inflection. If you can get that right, the bowing is optional. hahaha!
lol... some of it may be true :P
lmao i love these!
Thank goodness Hubby wouldn't dare try any of these with me. The worst I get from him would be something to do with cars, I am sure.
in my brilliant opinion, this is brilliant.
I'm liking these even more than the women ones :o)
"Take a break, honey" rocks!
I love it! I've GOT to get my husband to read this. LOL
Obviously written by a woman. You wonder how I know that, it's a guy thing. snerx.
ROTFLMAO.
Great post, just like the woman's post that preceded it.
I love it too, I'm looking forward for the second part.
Oh, my gosh. Those are SO true!
So informative, Sandee. *grin*
you got that right! Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!
Go easy on us guys.
That's interesting, Sandee.
I would tell to you how the male mind really works, but it would take too long to explain.
; )

i am glad you told me this, i always thought when sarge said it would take too long to explain he meant he thought i was too stupid to understand, now i know he is too dumb to tell me! ha ha ha ha ha

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
That's interesting, dear! :-)
From a guy point of view: she, honey I have a headache--translation--not again tonight.
I've used "Yes, Dear" a number of times over the years. I apparently never got the right tone and inflection, but I did use it ;)
hahahahahahahaha, too true, and stereotype or not, all too common... good one...
luv you much, hugs and :)))) have a great night!!!!
Too true!!! Big hugs, honey.
And then there's "Sure, I'll get to it later, hon" which means - I'm busy right now and I'll forget what you said and ask you again later.
I'm sure hoping you have one of these dictionaries for teenagers, too!
My husband would never say or mean any of these quotes! LOL!!!!!
;)
It would be a whole lot funnier if it weren't so true!
I don't get it! It must be a guy thing, but that would take too long to explain and I have other things on my mind!
It's that whole Mars and Venus kinda thing! It works well in my home!
Enjoy your "cool" break.
~~~Blessings~~~
Read to your blog make younger
the "I was listening/things on my mind" response is not well received.
smile.
When in doubt, faking an extended coughing fit is usually a better answer than anything you can actually say
