"Will you marry me?"

"It's a guy thing."
MEANS: There's no rational thought pattern connected with it and you have no chance at all of making it logical.

"Can I help with dinner?"
MEANS: Why isn't it already on the table?

"It would take too long to explain."

"It's a really good movie."
MEANS: It's got guns, knives, fast cars and naked women.

"You know how bad my memory is."
MEANS: I remember the words to the theme song of F-Troop, the address of the first girl I kissed, and the vehicle identification number of every car I've ever owned, but I forgot your birthday.

"Oh, don't fuss, I just cut myself, it's no big deal."

"She's one of those rabid feminists."
