Question for the Ladies (well... and men if you have input) Monthly Cycle
I work part time in a local ER, and the topic came up that the female nurses on our shift all seem to "start" around the same time. Here is the question, what do you call your monthly cycle?
I've heard, Monthly Visitor, Aunt Flow... and others.

I'm generally not allowed to refer to my wife's monthly cycle, but I like to display my ignorance by referring to it as: Aunt Flo, on her menses, ovulating (I know that's not right), and attracting bears.
ETA - I also like to mumble "I don't trust anything that bleeds for a week and doesn't die"
PS ETA - Oh man, I almost forgot "BJ week"14 -

One of my many peeves is when people refer to their cycles or breasts or ballsacs with cutesy names. (i.e, Aunt Flo, the "girls", the "boys"...etc...)
It makes me cringe when grown folks do that.
That is all. Not that anyone GAF. It's just my contribution to this thread. Carry on.

Period. "I have my period." Anything else just seems dumb. Kinda like "I'm prego" or "I'm preggers". Ugh ...4

ahhh, I see we have a mature one in the crowd... and may I say, thank-you.1 -
I've started calling it my Dot. This is what my 13 year old daughter and all her friends call it and I hear it so much.
Also, if one of them needs to borrow something from a friend, they ask "Hey, Japan is attacking, do you have any stickers (or harpoons)?"
Apparently because the Japanese flag is a giant red dot. Kids are more creative these days.10 -

Menses for me, or period. It doesn't deserve a cutesy name--it's pure evil. It must be destroyed.3

That's a personal question that I won't be answering.
It depends on who and what situation.1 -

Precisely. This is off topic but it also reminds me that I also hate when people give their cars genders. "She runs really fast" or "she's great on gas" It'saf ucking car not a SHE. UGH.
Okay, enough of my ranting for one day. Carry on with your periods people.0 -
All of my cars have been females and their names were Chloe, Gert, and I now own Sexy Lexi. Don't hate :P2
