When you say one thing, but really mean another
What do you really mean to say? I say to my 20 year old who is staying with me for Easter from Uni, "when will you be back?" when she goes out. What I really mean is, "I need a cut-off point before I report you to the police as a missing person." What do you say, (bearing in mind be aware that your spouse/significant other etc may watch this forum).

Re: When you say one thing, but really mean another
I say: "but, I'm not bitter."
I mean: "I'm angry, irritated, offended, considering methods of retaliation, and above all, corrosively embittered."

 I won a lunch with the Philadelphia Eagles from my local sports radio a few years back when they asked the question, "What would you do with a $100 million dollar contract like athletes get?"... Some called in and said "Help cure cancer" or "Give half to Mother Theresa"... I called in and said "I'd buy my ex-girlfriend's neighborhood and have her evicted."... The radio show guys burst out in laughter, and then I said "But I want to point one thing out." "What's that?" said the host...I replied, "I'm not bitter."...

LOL I think that may be universal to wives. I ask the same question of my partner but with added meaning. What it really means: You know we are on a tight budget and you BETTER NOT have blown 5 or 10 dollars on some high calorie, salt and cholesterol loaded, stroke waiting to happen, garbage when there is perfectly good, healthy food in the kitchen and you could have packed a lunch!
