“Feminese for Idiots”
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Feminese.
A guide to understanding the female language; written for men (as seen on ESPN).
Chapter one, the five most common misunderstood words, misunderstood by as many as two-thirds.
1.Yes: More often than not means no, sometimes means maybe, and occasionally means yes; on this one I’m afraid you’ll have to guess; however, if it involves the word “dress” the answer, most certainly, almost always is yes. Except when it’s not, 'cause it's not quite a lot, but for now that’s all that this author's got.
2.No: (occasionally pronounced, [get-th uh-HELL-uh-WEY-fruhm-mee]). This one’s not as clear to see as yes can sometimes often be. Refer to Chapter 3: Think Intuitively.
3. Stop, Don’t: Often confused with, "don’t stop." Again, I’m afraid you’re on your own; however, we know it has something to do with her tone.
4.I Love You: This one’s confusing for quite a few, the proper response is,” I love you too.”
5.We Need to Talk: WARNING, run don’t walk and refer to one of the following chapters: Biological Clock, Stumbling block, Sweet talk, or as a last resort, Chapter 5: Child Support.
Author’s note,
To fully decipher Feminese one must understand both Irony and hypocrisy, in reference to feminine linguistic anatomy. Man may never fully understand the feminine cognition; however, there has been huge breakthroughs in the field of presupposition in relation to the feminine’ disposition.
