ASK 30 WOMEN
ASK 30 WOMEN
What is something he says, or an expression he uses that makes you cringe?
Being referred to as "THE WIFE", "THE
OLD LADY" or "THE WOMAN."
Saying, "DON'T GO IN THERE FOR
A WHILE" as he walks out of the
bathroom.
My husband said, "LONG IN THE
TOOTH." What does that even mean?
Out of all the words, USING GOD'S
NAME IN VAIN makes me cringe the
most.
"THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID." That was
funny when you were in junior high.
"CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?" Stop
wasting my time and ask it.
Replying with, "WHATEVER" while in an
argument.
"BABE" or "BOO" I don't like terms of
endearment used by teenagers.
"MM-HMM." It's clear you aren't paying
attention. Also I can't tell if this means
yes or no.
"GET ER DONE." or "LET ER BUCK."
Saying "IT IS WHAT IT IS" to dismiss an
argument.
Unless you want to upset me even
more, don't ever say, "YOU NEED TO
CALM DOWN."

"I'M JUST KIDDING." Don't say this after
making a rude comment.
"YOU LOOK TIRED." This is always
taken as an insult rather than a
comment of concern.
"YOU DO YOU." Okay. I mean, I do that
every day.
"WE'RE HAVING BOYS NIGHT." This is
just a nice way of saying you don't want
me around.
The saying, "AT THE END OF THE DAY."
"YOU NEED TO SMILE MORE." If you
want me to smile, do something funny.
