I love ‘All Anal Sex Week,’ though it’s really a misnomer since most women’s periods are accompanied by, er, stomach troubles.
I usually just make jokes about an evil fetus clawing its way out of my uterus.
And airing the orchid.
Years ago I did a similar thread. One of my favs from that was “Jumping off the roof”.
A nice coded way for the women to speak and the boys had no idea what they were talking about.
“Slaughterhouse week” falls on the Slightly TMI category.
I just watched that cartoon, and it still doesn’t make any sense. Have I not taken enough drugs?
I kept watching, and now th coat comment makes sense. And I don’t think I need more drugs.
When I was in college, one of the girls in the dorm used the euphemism “summoning Dracula” when she was on her period. I thought this was hilarious, and I’ve never heard it elsewhere, so I assume that it was an original turn of phrase.
Riding my cycle.
Time of the flower.
Also, “Growing a tail.”
It’s been rumored Mssrs. Jagger and Richards referred to menstruation as “a losing streak”.
Heh. I chose not to include “Dracula’s teabag” in the OP.
I found “falling off the roof” on a blog a few months ago. There are many, many euphemisms for menstruation at this link at the Museum of Menstruation.
My mother once used the phrase, “Aunt Martha fell off the roof.” This confused me no end as I have no Aunt Martha. Also, about that time, my grandfathers cousins and other relations were all dropping like flies so I thought it was a reference to one of them. Why some way distant relative of mine’s death or serious wounding was relevant to why mom didn’t want to come swimming was a complete mystery to me.
I hate to ruin a good joke by having it explained to me, but what does falling off the roof mean?
I have no idea. So you can imagine just how much of a non-sequitor it was for me at that time.
“I’ve fallen to the Communists” has always been my personal favorite.
It’s not true to the source, but we call it Pillowpants.
“It’s time for my monthly reaffirmation of womanhood”
“Our threat level is red”
That’s the beauty of it. It doesn’t mean anything.
