9 Deadly Words Used By Women Law Students

1) Fine

• This is the word future women lawyers use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

2) Five Minutes

• If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch before helping around the house.

3) Nothing

• This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

4) Go Ahead

• This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do it!

5) Loud Sigh

• This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by male law students. A loud sign means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing)

6) That’s Okay

• This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7) Thanks

• A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint, Just say you’re welcome. (I want to add in a clause here – This is true, unless she says ‘Thanks a lot’ – that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say ‘you’re welcome’)

8 ) Whatever

• Is a woman’s way of saying F-YOU!

9) Don’t worry about, I got it.

• Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking ‘What’s wrong?” (For the woman’s response refer to  #3. )
