I doubt it......

Men should listen intently to their women's every word, and react accordingly.
In practice most just go into automatic mode, nodding or shaking their heads or making appropriate noises at the right time. This skill is vastly under rated, grunting or nodding inappropriately can be dangerous.
A wrongly placed "Yes dear" can result in repercussions, the real skill is convincing the lady you were agreeing to an earlier comment that you were still mulling over.
Women are known to speak much more than men, so appearing interested and retaining the kernal of the conversation for later, when questions may be asked, sometimes goes wrong.
It is very difficult for men to understand the importance of verbal communication to their women, so picking up on key words, and filing them away for later normally does the trick.
When asked just fire back single words, "Bus Stop " or " Mabel" will suffice most times when cornered.
