Everyone knows there’s a certain language that most of us ladies share. You know…those phrases that sound like one thing but mean something entirely different. Well, I’m here to share what I think these sayings (or, as some like to refer to them as white girl problems) actually mean.
decoding common female phrases.
Phrase: “Does this outfit look dumb?” Meaning: Please tell me how amazing I look.
Phrase: “I’m sick of all this drama!” Meaning: We secretly enjoy at least a smidgen of the drama.
Phrase: “Everything happens for a reason.” Meaning: I’m just going to keep telling myself that in hopes that I won’t have a nervous breakdown.
Phrase: “Oh wait, can you take a length-wise picture too?” Meaning: I need this entire outfit to be documented so it doesn’t go to waste.

Phrase: “I prefer being friends with guys. Girls are too catty.” Meaning: You’re probably that girl who is too catty.
Phrase: “I really don’t care where we go to eat, you pick!” Meaning: I’m going to give you a hard time about every place you choose until it’s the place I actually want to go.
Phrase: “What are you wearing tonight?” Meaning: Heels or flats?!

Yes….I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve been guilty of all of the above at least one time or another, and I’ll even consent that there are exceptions to the “rules” I just pointed out. But I know you know there’s some truth there.
Hey, someone had to say it.

So true!!!
It made me laugh out loud. At work… I received some weird looks!
These are just TOO perfect. I love the “does this outfit look dumb?” It’s keyword for “this outfit is amazing. you may not know it, but it really, really is.”
oh my god I adore you. You forget my personal fav…”it’s that time of the month” - in other words, “stay away from me.. unless you have chocolate”
HAHA, the heels and flats one is sooo what on the money. I ask that so I know not to be under dressed. I am always hoping that they (boyfriend or when I’m going out just friends) are going casual so I can too!
hahah these are excellent. I think we’ve all used one of those at least once in our lifetime.
HAHAH this is great…love the lengthwise outfit one LOL. So true
