Womanspeak

Women often punish men without even knowing it. For example, a woman may say, "This trash fills up quickly." This is woman-speak for, "Get up right now and take out the trash."

"Come on, are you kidding me? Really?" Brandon patted his chest, then the front pockets of his jeans. "Oh no. It looks like I forgot my woman-speak code breaker at home, so do you mind helping me out with a little translation on what I'm missing?"

It was clear that this was womanspeak and that they were familiar with this term because there wasn't the customary smiles and laughs that usually follow such novel-type statements.
