... women and our 'female' language ? hmmmm ;)
Yes, we women make no sense.
So, luckily for us, a German publisher has announced it’s plans to produce a guide designed to help men ‘decipher’ various (ahem) ‘baffling female banter'.
The Langenscheidt publishing group, best known for it’s comprehensive (and very well-respected) foreign language dictionaries, apparently sees no irony in publishing a dictionary in ‘female’.
According to the guide, when a woman says to a man “let’s just cuddle”, what she really means is “no sex tonight, please !”.
(Hah !. No shit, Sherlock !. Don’t tell me they think this is actually news to anyone ?).
Designed to help men ‘translate the subtext of female conversation’, it also includes such gems as “understanding why your woman wants you to pay attention when she is trying on shoes”.
(What ? whaaaaat ?).
Apparently, you need to pay attention to your female partners’ footwear selections because you are about to pay for them !.
(You are ???. Hello, equality ?).
Creatively entitled “German-Woman/Woman-German", the first issue is due in October. According to the blurb, the themed chapters offer men ‘behavioral tips’ and will ‘expose hidden messages transmitted by women’ in everyday situations.
Ooooh, look out girls. They’re onto us !
