"It's a guy thing."
Really means: "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?"
Really means: "Why isn't it already on the table?"
"Uh huh," "Sure, Honey," or, "Yes, Dear."
Really means: Absolutely nothing. It's a conditioned response.
"It would take too long to explain."
Really means: "I have no idea how it works."
"I'm getting more exercise lately."
Really means: "The batteries in the remote are dead."
"We're going to be late."
Really means: "Now I have a legitimate excuse to drive like a maniac."
"Take a break, Honey, you're working too hard."
Really means: "I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner."
"That's interesting, Dear."
Really means: "Are you still talking?"
"Honey, we don't need material things to prove our love."
Really means: "I forgot our anniversary again."
"You expect too much of me."
Really means: "You want me to stay awake."
"It's a really good movie."
Really means: "It's got guns, knives, fast cars, and Heather Locklear."
"That's women's work."
Really means: "It's difficult, dirty, and thankless."
"Will you marry me?"
Really means: "Both my roommates have moved out, I can't find the washer, and there is no more peanut butter."
"You know how bad my memory is."
Really means: "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."
Really means: "The girl selling them on the corner was a real babe."
"Oh, don't fuss. I just cut myself, it's no big deal."
Really means: "I have severed a limb, but will bleed to death before I admit I'm hurt."
"I do help around the house."
Really means: "I once put a dirty towel in the laundry basket."
"Hey, I've got my reasons for what I'm doing."
Really means: "I sure hope I think of some reasons pretty soon."
"I can't find it."
Really means: "It didn't fall into my outstretched hands, so I'm completely clueless."
"What did I do this time?"
Really means: "What did you catch me doing?"
"She's one of those rabid feminists."
Really means: "She refused to make my coffee."
"I heard you."
Really means: "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 3 days yelling at me."
"You know I could never love anyone else."
Really means: "I am used to the way you yell at me, and realize it could be worse."
"You look terrific."
Really means: "Oh, God, please don't try on one more outfit. I'm starving."
"I brought you a present."
Really means: "It was 'Free Ice Scraper Night' at the ball game."
"I missed you."
Really means: "I can't find my sock drawer, the kids are hungry and we are out of toilet paper."
"I'm not lost. I know exactly where we are."
Really means: "I'm lost. I have no idea where we are, and no one will ever see us alive again."
"We share the housework."
Really means: "I make the messes, you clean them up."
"This relationship is getting too serious."
Really means: "You're cutting into the time I spend with my truck."
"I don't need to read the instructions."
Really means: "I am perfectly capable of screwing it up without printed help."
"I'll fix the garbage disposal later."
Really means: "If I wait long enough you'll get frustrated and buy a new one.
Really means: "There is no rational thought pattern connected with it, and you have no chance at all of making it logical."
