'What it really means' :
‘I'm going fishing.’ Really means... ‘I'm going to drink myself dangerously stupid, and stand by a stream with a stick in my hand, while the fish swim by in complete safety.’
‘I missed you.’ Really means.... ‘I can't find my sock drawer, the kids are hungry and we are out of toilet paper.’
‘Uh huh,’ ‘Sure, honey,’ or ‘Yes, dear.’ Really mean.... Absolutely nothing. It's a conditioned response like Pavlov's dog drooling.
‘I was listening to you. It's just that I have things on my mind.’ Really means.... ‘I was wondering if that red-head over there is wearing a bra.’
‘Have you lost weight?’ Really means.... ‘I've just spent our last $30 on a cordless drill.’
‘Take a break, honey, you're working too hard.’ Really means.... ‘I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner.’
‘What did I do this time?’ Really means.... ‘What did you catch me at?’
‘Let's take your car.’ Really means.... ‘Mine is full of beer cans, burger wrappers and completely out of gas.’
