    A girl I went out with called it her jam! I also heard someone discussing it one day on a train, it was a guy telling his mate he had O when his g/f was on her rags! He said he had turkey pie with cranberry sauce! Ergh!!! :eek:


    EDIT: Is that why another name for the lady garden is 'chainsaw wound'?

    No special names for it, but i'm in negotiations to have "...sponsored by Cadburys" included in my each and every mention of it. I get through a fair whack of chocolate then.

    Just call it my period. My mother on the other hand calls them 'your friends' which I find odd

    Wait, you're calling it something silly infront of girls who are starting to get them?
    Sense - This makes none.

    Period. I find the euphemisms a bit creepy tbh. Using them perpetuates the whole idea that periods are some kind of mysterious/weird thing that can't or shouldn't be talked about in public. Call a spade a spade.

    Although having said all that, I have occasionally used the phrase 'reading in the Ussher basement' for when I have my period. Basically in TCD, where I went to college, the periodicals section was in the basement of the Ussher library - hence 'I'm reading in the Ussher basement'. But it's mainly for lulz.

    Wow. That sounds even weirder when I write it down.

    To mammy I'd say I have my period. Among my mates it's on the rag and PMS is "raggy". On the blob was thrown around for a while, but rag stuck. Not very nice is it lol?
