Man-code

I believe I'm close to cracking the enigma of "man-speak". It's taken time and a lot of dedication but so far I believe I can understand just a handful (or would that be mouthful?) of phrases.
Husband Speak should not be confused with Man Speak as each husband has a different dialect, not all grunts sound the same and endearments differ. In my case, the love of my life has evolved a way of saying yes, no and maybe as one word that pops out at well timed intervals during my conversation.
Love that guy!

Man Speak is such things as
"Sorry I can't make it on Wednesday, I'll be on a (golf) course"
"Saturday's out, I'll be at a (car race) meeting all day".
"Mr Smith is unavailable for a week as he has to fly to New Zealand to attend a very important (rugby) conference".
I wonder if there's such a thing as Woman Speak? Nothing comes to mind :-)
