Dad’s gotten 1000% better talking about periods since we started using Shark Week euphemisms:
“Ah, it’s Shark Week?” = “Ah, you started your period?”
“Harpoons on deck?” = “Do you have enough pads/tampons/etc?”
“Chum stocks are holding?” = “Do you need chocolate/midol?”
“Supplies are low cap’n” = “Yes, please.”
“What kind (of shark) is it?” = “How do you feel?”
- “It’s a Nurse Shark” = “I’m fine/not bad”
- “GREAT WHITE OFF THE STARBOARD BOW” = “FUCKING OW”
