You would be shocked how openly women discuss it over here then Bread, and a lot of them do use slang as well.
Not sure what prompted me to ask this in the first place, there must of been a reason, but I was actually just trying to learn a bit more of the American language, or at least American slang.

I was taught not to discuss such a private matter unless I was talking to my doctor or planning to get pregnant or trying not to....and that would only be with my husband ...I dont even say that to him; I just tell him its not a good time for that and he understands because I make make funny faces and point down. He laughs and asks me if its "harpoon time" That helps me remember that I am not Mary Poppins. If I must let someone know something so personal, I just say I am having my period or that "my little friend" is visiting me.
Wow......Prude....lmmo

I AM NOT A PRUDE...I just dont like talking about stuff like that in such a way. I will complain with my girlfriends if I am crampy or any odd changes during that time.....concerns or complaints, but I dont discuss it over scones and tea with my mates. I do joke around with my sisters and cousins from time to time when I am acting like Godzilla due to hormonal rages, but thats about it. The rule my mother made in my house when I was growing up was "I dont want to know when you are menstruating by looking in the trash nor by being told. If there is a problem ....then tell me. Its not lady-like to discuss such personal moments in ones life." Thats just me.
Sparky...women over here use a lot of slang too. I am by no means offended, I just dont use that type of slang. I think a womans body is a wonderful thing and is very complex. My special time of the month prepares me for a baby.....when I was not ready to have children, it helped balance my hormones and keep me from castrating certain young men I knew.
It can be a pain in many places, not just my ass........but I manage.

I think of it as monthly reaffirmation of my womanhood and I celebrate it. When I feel each cramp, I know I'm a living breathing woman. I call it my joy.

I do too. I hit walmart for the brownies and the sugar. Midol and aspirin, and tampons. If I had the balls I woulg go in my housecoat and curlers. But i am not that brave. Don't forget the cig hanging out of the mouth. That is a classic. And stare at the Male checkout guy with the look of death. That is fucking joy right there.

ahaha i see how it is gonna be. I like you, what a pain. Saturday's i switch it up with a fifth of jack.
I think you need to take the woman out first, before you can do anything with her. I am hoping that by some miracle we will meet somewhere away from her work, and then I will be braver.

I get Jack on Sundays, Saturdays I spend with Senor cuervo.
don't call it a mircle, more like maybe actually put effot in speaking to her about other things besides work. Yes, and I'm trying, but she is very much on task. On the bright side though, I think she finally understands that I like her very much. She's not sure in what way...but she knows she's very special to me. That's a start, isn't it?
