What are some unusual euphemisms you have heard/used for periods?

1. A friend told me that her family called periods “moontides”.

2. Aunt Martha and Uncle Tom were here for a visit. No idea what it is even supposed to vaguely reference.

3. I heard a comedian call it “WI Week”. WI is the Women’s Institute; the WI, among other things, tend to make homemade preserves – like jam. The comedian’s comparison was that she made jam so therefore she’s WI lol. Eugh!

   I’ve also heard some vague slang:

   “I’ve got the painters in”. “I’m closed for maintenance”. “I’m at high tide”. “Aunt Flo/Irma/Nelly (etc) has come to visit”.

4. Shark week

5. Aunt flow is in town. I think that was South Park?

   In my home country they call it the monthly flower (cringe!!!!)…

6. My friend calls her vaginal discharge “Girl goo”

7. Santa Claus… I mean look at the colour of his coat

8. Erdbeerwoche (Strawberry week)

   Rote Tante (Red Aunt)

9. “Rag” has ultimately been the WORST I’ve ever heard. I don’t know why some people even call it that or why it bothers me but I fucking CRINGE.
