Aunt Flo

[LouLou789]

I’ve just seen a woman on FB complaining she’s feeling bloated “because of Aunt Flo”. Hoping against hope that this was a complaint about the cooking of an elderly relative, I did just check on Google and my worst fears were confirmed.

She meant her period.

What’s the weirdest euphemism you’ve heard someone use about their period?

Before this, the weirdest I’d heard was “got the painters in”

On the rag. Awful term. All those euphemisms are equally bad.

Aunt flo is well known OP, you haven't heard it before?

Flag week is another one.

Rag week.

I think there's probably a few.

We used to call it Tom (time of the month) in high school

Got the decorators in.

I had an ex who used to call it 'blob time'. I bloody hated that phrase.

Aunt flo is well known. I hated when the boys would say on the rag.

Code red

Arsenal playing at home was what we said at school!

Oh yeah, and "on the blob". Made you feel shit and disgusting when they'd laugh at you whilst saying it.

Bloody Mary

‘Up on blocks’

Crimson tide

The Red Baron

Shark week

Once heard a guy call it the ladys curse.

Creepy fucker

On the cotton pole (not envy)

Aunt Flo is awful, I hadn't heard it until venturing into mn.

Having the decorators in has to be up there.

I have never heard Aunt Flo before! (sheltered life)

Heard older ladies call it My Little Visitor 🤮

Lady Time

In honour of The IT Crowd “Aunt Irma’s visiting”... “I’ve fallen to the Soviets”

Surfing the crimson wave....good old Clueless

Very commonly referred to online as 'AF' - I can't believe you have never come across this!

Sorry I mean I can't believe not I don't believe to just ti clarity

The Curse

My own mother used that term when telling me all about periods and what will happen.

needless to say I was absolutely terrified and thought it meant I was going to die or something very bad would happen to me.

My own DD has known they are called periods from an early age.

Communist in the funhouse is my personal favourite.
