I do! But only at home, when no one is around. I find a 4" heel does wonders for my legs, I look fab!

My "Lady days!" I have a bit of the Jane Austin thing going on atm

I don't tell to call them anything - I actually dislike saying the word "period" for some reason...

This thread should come with a health warning :mad:

Tha painters are in from Dallas.... Heard a girl saying that once on holidays so my BF now asks when are the painters coming/more importantly going!

I say that "I have the Blob" and thats exactly how I feel at the time, a huge blobby mess, swollen, an emotional wreck and in desperate need of a constant supply of chocolate for the duration of it :rolleyes:

I usually just say period.

However if I want to get a chuckle out of my husband I give it a bit of zazz (BTW, I never had my periods too bad so I don't mind them as much as some).

I uusually just say that time of the month or im crampy. I like to announce it to the OH though. It usually goes like
"Hey huni, guess what?"
"What?"
"I'm not pregnant, yay!!"

Oh The Humanity

I hate the word 'period' -its so sappy, it makes me cringe. I blame the nuns.

Got the painters in
Blow job week
The reds are playin at home

are the usual warnings issued !

Censorsh!t

"the forks"
"I'm dying~ " I have the death"

MandyM

I like to give fair warning to my hubby because I know spoilage is on the way!

Before: "I'm starting soon"

Just as: "I've started"

Cramp time: "Ooooweeeeeeeeee!"


*receives lots of spoils and tasty things to eat*

(unless I'm being bitchy, then I'm threatened with being sent to the forrest until it's finished )

Morgase

I say that "the painters have arrived" or "I'm bleeding!". This is only ever said to Mr. Morg cause illogically I'd feel awful and kind of ashamed if other people knew (very illogical I know).

He will often ask me if I've got a nappy on and then run away cackling. Evil man! He does it to wind me up but unlike some men he doesn't seem to be disgusted or fazed by menstruation at all.

My mother called them "yokes" on the very infrequent time that a reference to periods was made.

Lady

OH likes to call it Hummer week.
Usually just say "I'm out of commision" tho.

eve

I just call them periods.

I absolutely despised my mother when I was mid-teens and she used to call them 'my friend'. She did it for a while till I shouted at her "They are not my f***king friend and anyone who thinks that sort of pain and torture is 'friendly' is serously warped". She never did it again.

Malari

Sometimes I say I'm "being a girl".

With my boyfriend I once told him I was at the yucky stage in my menstrual cycle and he thought I said minstrel. So that's what we call it now. Sometimes I only need to do a little dance with hands up like so:

Perhaps in her own way she was trying to get you to see them as natural or something. Still though, "my friend" would be the last thing I'd be calling them! Irish Mammies...

me and my mate call it Patrick for some reason....i think she coined the term when we were teenagers and it just stuck!that way when we're in company we can say "feckin patrick's at me" it goes unnoticed!

Wow, If I called mine that my OH wouldnt be happy....thats his name

Then again.....I do blame everything on him anyway so why not name the worst part of the month after him!!!
