Women always complain that men are difficult to understand. Here are some funny explanations of typical guy phrases.

It's a guy thing
Translated: "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?
Translated: "Why isn't it already on the table?"

Uh Huh, Sure Honey OR Yes Dear
Translated: Absolutely nothing. It's a conditioned response.

It would take too long to explain
Translated: "I have no idea how it works."

I was listening to you. It's just that I have things on my mind
Translated: "That girl standing on the corner is a real babe."

Take a break honey, you're working too hard
Translated: "I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner."

That's interesting dear
Translated: "Are you still talking?"

You know how bad my memory is
Translated: "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 our anniversary."

I was just thinking about you and got you these roses
Translated: "The girl selling them on the corner was a real babe."

Oh, don't fuss - I just cut myself, it's no big deal
Translated: "I have actually severed a limb, but will bleed to death before I admit that I'm hurt."

I can't find it
Translated: "It didn't fall into my outstretched hands, so I'm completely clueless."

What did I do this time?
Translated: "What did you catch me at?"

I heard you
Translated: "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 three days yelling at me."

You know I could never love anyone else
Translated: "I am used to the way you yell at me, and realize it could be worse."

You look terrific
Translated: "Oh, please don't try on one more outfit, I'm starving."

I'm not lost. I know exactly where we are
Translated: "No one will ever see us alive again."
