Isn't it sort of funny how the Super Bowl has become a de facto holiday in the US?  I mean, love the game or hate it, I bet most of the HumpDay readers will be at a Super Bowl party next weekend.  And that begs the question:  Who are you rooting for?  Be sure to answer the survey question in the giveaway section!

Since this email is read mostly by men, I thought I'd offer you some insight into the female brain.  I got this email from a friend of mine and thought it was pretty funny (and some of it true!).  I can honestly say as I was reading these I am guilty of a couple of them (in particular, "Fine", "Go ahead" with raised eyebrows, and the Loud Sigh).  Hope you find it as funny as I did! 

Words Women Use and Their True Meanings 

This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you just need to hush up.  Never use this word to describe how a woman looks, however, because it will cause you to have one of those arguments. 

"Five Minutes."

This is half an hour.  It is equivalent to the five minutes your football game has left before you take out the trash.

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 the start of an argument that will last "five minutes" and end with "fine."

"Go ahead." (with raised eyebrows)

This is a dare, not permission.  Continue with caution.  If you move in the direction of whatever it is you want to do and she folds her arms as she says it and she cocks her head to one side, stop immediately.  Go to her, kiss her cheek and tell her she's beautiful.

"Go ahead." (without raised eyebrows)

This means, "I give up" or "do what ever you want because I don't care" as long as the 'what every you want' has been previously approved.  If it has not bee previously approved, this "go ahead" may turn into the previous "go ahead" without any warning.

Soft sigh.

Not a word, but a nonverbal statement that means she is content.  Your best bet is to not move or breathe, and she will stay content.

Again, not a word, but a nonverbal statement.  A loud sigh means she is wondering why she's standing there arguing with you about "nothing". 

Thanks a lot.

This does not mean "thank you".  If a woman says, "Thanks a lot." you have offended her in some way and will be followed by the "loud sigh".  Be careful not to ask what's wrong because she will only tell you "nothing".
