IT boy's near death experience (via IM)

IT boy: Stop being depressed, just finish the book already
Me: Thanks for the suggestion, trying
IT boy: You are on your period

Now tell me, girls, are those fightin' words or what? (Regardless of whether it's factual - and, for the record, it's not entirely factual, but give me a day or so)

Me: EXCUSE ME? (totally wishing I could translate that cobra head move thing into words)
IT boy: Your period, the end of a sentence, you know, the end of your book, Your period.

I wonder if he knows how close he was to being stapled to death

  • I always hated the phrase "On your period" because not only is it terrible accurate, it just sounds stupid.

    I prefer such things as:

    Bleeding below the belt
    Sailing the Red Sea
    Riding the cotton pony

    Also, I totally hate my period.

  • where did that term even come from, "period?" What does a period have to do with damn near bleeding to death every month? Unless, it stands for the end because back in the day, women really damn near bled to death every month.

  • Julia - you are SO right, it doesn't make sense at all - but cute IT boy turned into something kinda cute - and that's why I spared his life

    And I've already typed the phrase twice today, but my friend's husband used to refer to it as "blowing ketchup" - and there you have it - I dare anyone to come up with anything half as gross as that - so there
