Some folks think this is a Pilot bashing site. I prefer to think of this as an Air Line Pilot help and re-education site... a place to learn from my cautionary tales about PilotHusband. So, in that spirit, here are few words and phrases you may hear from your wife, and what she really means.
FINE: This is a word your wife will use to end an argument when she knows she's right... and thinks you're an asshole. Don't be deceived... things are definitely NOT "fine".
NOTHING: A standard response to the question "what's wrong?. Trust me, when she says this, SOMETHING is wrong... and she's figuring out how to make you pay for it later. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
GO AHEAD: Do NOT be fooled. This is not permission to so something! This is a dare.... and if you take her up on it... woe be unto you.
WHATEVER: While we hate to sound like a 14 year old girl, its our way of saying "screw you" without escalating the argument to that level. Don't be fooled. We really are saying "screw you".
THAT'S OKAY: No. Its really not okay. We say this to bide our time while we figure out how and when you will pay for your screw up.
WOW: This is NOT a compliment. This is a statement about how incredibly STUPID we think you are... as in "WOW, how can any man be that stupid?".
I HEAR YOU: This is our way of getting you to stop nagging us about something. We are NOT agreeing with you; we will do what we think is best... we just don't want to listen to your input any longer. This phrase can also be substituted with "ROGER THAT".
So, until Rosetta Stone comes out with an AngryPilotWife series, you'll just have to keep checking back for more translations.
