I LOL'd at the Communist convention one. I usually just say on or having my period or that time of the month.

With the men in my life I use "that" time of month, with everyone else "My Monthly friend is in town"

I always stick to "I have my period," because nicknames for your period remind me of my mother,i who is annoyingly reticent. I don't think she is even capable of saying "period," or even "pregnant" for that matter, and this has always gotten under my skin!

On/having my period, on the rag, that time (of the month, again, or just "that time"), or vampire oral sex week.

I'm a big fan of euphemisms, but who gets what depends on who I am talking to. "That time", "It's that time" is the most direct way I will say it unless I'm talking to a doctor. A doctor would get "my period". When talking to family or other people I don't like discussing health matters with in much detail, I might just say I'm not feeling well and if they ask for more, vaguely indicate. My partner and I use slightly more colorful things, but I'll keep them between us. :3

I don't think it is widely used, but I have heard of "Flag Day" being something the Japanese sometimes say. If you don't know the Japanese flag well, go look at it and figure it out!

The Monthly Curse. Low and behold, the prophecy was fulfilled last night. I bet I'm not the only one who hates waking up to a fresh period.
One of my friends would say "Tom is visiting again" or something like that. TOM? Time Of Month? Get it??

Riding the Crimson Wave, makes me think of fruit punch, so I laugh and get less cranky.

You know if a woman told me she had the fleas I doubt I'd be much interested in pursuing a relationship with her of any sort...jus' sayin' LOL

I usually say I'm on my period, it's my Moontime, or I'm blessed. I have used the Auntie Flow euphemism when talking about my daughter's time of the month just because she prefers it.
