I have wished since D Day I could understand what my FWW was saying. Over time I have realized that everything she has said everyone else has heard. Maybe we can post the true definitions of WS speak. For example:

What FWW said- I don't remember everything that happened.

True meaning- I don't remember what I have told you about my A so I am afraid to say anything else or you might catch me in another lie.

What have you heard and what is the real definition.

"I need some space to think.."

Translation: I need you GONE so I can carry on my affair in PEACE!

This isn't EXACTLY on topic, but here's a link to a thread that includes what I think of as the "Wayward Spouse's Handbook."

She meant nothing to me.

Translation: She meant everything to me till she dumped me.

I don't know what I was thinking.

I wasn't thinking about you or anybody else except myself and it felt damn good.

I don't remember.

I totally remember but I don't want you to know b/c it is that bad!!
________________________________________________
I lied b/c I didn't want to hurt you (post A).

I lied b/c it wouldn't help me at all.
_________________________________________________
After finding more truth post A:

I left out the small details b/c I didn't think they would make any difference.

I left out the small details b/c they really weren't small at all, they were HUGE and I didn't think you would ever find out!

I could go on and on......just read my signature line......

OMG I love it...

I have heard everyone of those. And lots more.

You can be hateful...

...translation==I would be hateful to you if you did this to me.

I am not planning anything.

...translation==I am not planning anything that is good for the marriage and I don't want you to know anything about my plans.
