Ever said something you thought was completely innocent to an angry woman - trying to be a good guy and diffuse the situation - only to have your words add fuel to the fire? Yeah, me too. It's a regular occurrence, like the changing of the tides, or our president mispronouncing a word. But Sarah Miller, a relationship expert over at Men's Health, has a list of the worst things you can say to an angry woman. Along with some phrases you should be using. (Memorize them, men.)

The big five no-no's are:
1 - "Relax." (Apparently telling a woman who is freaking out to relax, is akin to telling her she has no reason to be upset. Never a good idea.)

2 - "I love you" when said during a fight. (This one is only to be used after the fight.)

3 - "It's up to you." A.K.A. "Whatever you want to do is fine with me."
(You're basically telling her you don't care.)

4 - "You knew I was this way when you married me." (Good idea, blame her for not realizing you're a jackass.)

5 - Saying nothing at all. (In this case, silence is not golden.)

In the article Miller gives suggestions for what you can say in place of each of these, as well as the "magic words", three phrases you can use as a get-out-of-jail-free-card when something you've done causes her to open up a six-pack of bitch on your sorry ass.

A guide, a gauge and a challenge to guys and DIYers everywhere, this list contains 25 skills the editors at Popular Mechanics feel every guy should know to survive the hazards and pitfalls of everyday life.

Covering everything from car repair (fixing a leaking radiator hose, changing the oil), to computer knowledge (protecting it from viruses, extending wireless network), to emergencies (rescuing a capsized boater, performing CPR), to fixing your pad (framing a wall, fixing a dead outlet, proper painting techniques), to outdoor survival (navigating with a map and compass, filleting a fish, building a campfire) the list is a great reference to have on hand, even if you already know a lot of the stuff it includes.

Sex outside of the bedroom can be the most memorable. (Sex outside of the house even more so, especially when you end up running half naked from the cops.) But something about sex in the kitchen has always been high on the Erotic Scale of Out-of-the-Bedroom Sexcapades. Even Hollywood has romanticized the act of kitchen coitus. Remember a pre-cosmetic-surgery Mickey Rourke seducing Kim Bassinger in the kitchen in 9 1/2 Weeks? And I never saw it (I swear), but I hear Like Water for Chocolate also has a memorable food-involved sex scene.

But is kitchen sex actually as romantic in "real life" as it is in the movies? Sure. But if you’re looking to have dinner with a bang (pun intended), understand that there are some hazards and pitfalls to watch out for. In the interest of making your kitchen counter encounter one she'll be telling her friends about, rather than the Emergency Room triage nurse, here are six "do's and don'ts" to keep in mind when the clothing, and dishes, start flying.

1- DON'T Attempt the "Aunt Jemima Treatment".
It may have worked for Bill Murray in the '80s movie classic Stripes, but propping your date up on the counter and prodding her with kitchen utensils most likely won't get you the same results that Bill got. Spatulas, whisks, slotted spoons, tongs... not exactly an erotic line-up. (More like stuff she sees at her doctor's office.) If you're looking for something extra to bring to the table, stick to the more traditional toys and equipment.
