He means: “There is no rational thought pattern connected with this, and you have no chance at all of making it logical.”

He means: “I can’t hear the game over the vacuum cleaner.”

When a man says, “Oh, don’t fuss, I just cut myself. It’s no big deal.”
He means: “I have actually severed a limb, but I will bleed to death before I admit I’m hurt.”

When a man says, “I can’t find it.”
He means: “It didn’t fall into my outstretched hand, so I’m completely clueless.”

When a man says, “I heard you.”
He means: “I haven’t the foggiest clue what you just said and I am hoping desperately that I can fake it well enough so that you’ll not spend the next three days yelling at me.”
