Decoding the Period Name-Game
18
Jul
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet," Shakespeare wrote in his iconic play "Romeo and Juliet." You may be wondering: what does this 16th-century poet have to do with periods? Well, sit tight: today we're delving into the idiosyncratic world of name-calling during that time of the month–aka period slang.
Have you ever wondered why many people with periods prefer to call their monthly frenemies by more subtle, coded names? Do you feel like you can say "period" around some friends and family but maybe not around others?
#justsayperiod (read more about this taboo-busting campaign here)
Unfortunately, across the ages, period-ers have experienced embarrassment and shame about their periods. Something as natural as eating, drinking and sleeping has been silenced and stigmatised: reduced to cutesy euphemisms that, quite frankly, beat around the bush.
In the opening quotation, Shakespeare reminds us that the names we assign to things do not affect what they really are – a rose would look and feel and smell the same under a different name. Likewise, at the end of the day, whether you're calling it a "period" or a "monthly gift," you're referring to a bleeding vagina...and it's about time everybody just accepts that.
Is period slang ever useful?
We're not suggesting that you trade whispering "monthly gift" with shouting "period" from the rooftops [although that is always an option ;)]. We're fans of some menstrual slang ourselves, and we understand and respect people who continue to use their favourite colloquialism. Nevertheless, we're advocating for eliminating some of the stigma surrounding your little red friend. Next time you use a code-word, consider whether you're doing it for you or for those around you. Read more about exceptions to #justsayperiod here.
The Period Slang-Term Dictionary
Clue and The International Women's Health Coalition conducted a survey that received over 90,000 responses spanning 190 different countries. Turns out, there are over 5,000 different slang terms and euphemisms for the word "period"! Let's get global–see below for a list of the world's wackiest period slang terms:
