    I'd like to see phrases like these eliminated:
    "eat all the/teh foods/z"
    "there is so much 'no' in this post/thread"
    And replaced with:
    "eat what you want"
    "I do not believe this/these statement(s) are factual"

    Also, talking about menstruating in a public forum and then getting upset when men chime in. Find a private way of messaging to talk about your flow if men can't get in the conversation.

    Oh, and when people do this ("^^^^this^^^^" or "^^^yes")

    What I find funny is the ones who are upset about what others want banned. It will not happen, so don't get your feelings hurt when people want to ban the same phrases you use regularly. You set yourself up for that disappointment when you opened this thread.

    people that complain, just to complain.

    says the guy that accounts for half of the comments in this thread.

    I only have half, really? shoot, I was going for 75%...

    Once upon a time I saw a play about scientists researching menstruation (not the weirdest play I've seen, or even close) and the program had a bunch of euphemisms used in various times and places. My favorites were "the English have arrived" and "there are Communists in the funhouse." (TOM requires less explanation, though.)

    Bwahahaha - communists in the funhouse... new favorite! Previous favorite? "Riding the cotton pony"... hehe

    Can't believe nobody has said "Arts and crafts week at panty camp"

    Loose. You do not loose weight. You LOSE weight.

    Loose = not firmly fastened or fixed in place.
    Lose = to experience a reduction in something such as weight or heat

    No more loosing weight next year, okay people?

    I have my period. What do I do now?!

    I was waiting to see how long it would take for this one!! I have seen posts from women in their 30's and 40's posting this.

    Can't everyone who is as confused as a 12 year old girl just join a private group and wail and moan together??

    New year, new me! And yes, I am guilty of that one...just not willing to say it anymore. Oh, and picking a specific date on the calendar to start working out. "I'll start on the 1st of March when the gym is less crowded". :smiley:

    "What can you eat on your diet?"

    I'm NOT on a "DIET". I have a LIFESTYLE.

    I agree... No "loosing" weight. It's a word crime.

    I feel like anyone who needs to lose 50 lbs.+ can use the word "journey" if it helps them understand it's going to take a while. Using that word is not going to hurt anyone (not like "detox," "cleanse," etc.), even if it may be annoying to you.

    I would ban 'cleanse' and 'detox'. You want to cleanse and detox? Stop putting crap in your body lol.

    Anything self-shaming should be banned from everyone's internal/external conversations. Know that you are worth all that is good, kind and wonderful!!!!

    "TOM"

    It's a period, ladies, or menstrual cycle if you want to be technical. Most of us have one monthly and it's not a naughty word. You don't have to disguise it with some stupid acronym. Also, using your period as an excuse to skip workouts and overeat is just weak. You're not the first person to ever bleed from your vagina - woman up and do what you gotta do.

    ^ Feel free to take offense to that. I don't mind.

    Period is also a euphemism though isn't it? Just another temporal reference I assume.
    As for eating. I never fretted about my increased appetite. I just ate and knew that a few days later Id have no appetite at all.

    HAHAHA. I never go in the "ladies!" threads, despite being a lady. I can't bear it. I don't want to talk about or hear about anyone's "arts and crafts day at panty camp" or other female issues. And LOL at that euphemism!

    "Journey" - yeah, it's not. Want a journey, take a step onto the road, it's a dangerous thing and you never know where it will take you.

    How about we kill off a couple concepts:
    Empathy
    Validation
    Difficult
    Can't
    Laziness

    Eh, help me, I can't work out because I'm so spazzy that I can't do a jumping jack right.
    Stow it, go do it, you'll get better at it as you do it. I didn't spring forth from the womb as awesome as I am, it took a *little* bit o' practice and bourbon.
    Stow it? OK, Archie.

    (This probably goes without saying, but I think you're wrong about most of that. That's not why I quoted it, to have a big fight. At the risk of sounding "validating", you are as entitled to your opinion as I am to mine. I just couldn't let "Stow it" go, hard as I tried.)
