Período de menstruacion = Aunt Flo is visiting
Nikki..
I appreciate your offering to education us on the language and customs of Argentina.
There is one delicate subject that I have encountered and that's when a woman is having her menstrual period. If she says "período de menstruacion" or something similar, I can usually figure it out. It's when they use colloquial or idiomatic words or phrases to tell me that it's their menstrual period that things get confusing for me. So what colloquial or idiomatic words or phrases will an Argentinean women use to tell you that it's her menstrual period. For example, in the US, a woman would say "Aunt Flo is visiting.
Laughing my fucking ass off
[QUOTE=Aqualung;433776]Hahahahaah. Good question. Argie women will say "tengo visita de Andres" Rhymed with: "viene una vez por mes". I have Andres visiting, he comes once a month. So usually just mentioning "Andres" is enough.[/QUOTE]Because some of us know an Andres. If this is true Aqualung (and I have no doubt it is) why in the world would anybody ever name a boy child Andres here? I used to think chicas were telling me they were being faithful to one of our brother on this board. LOL
