Add a word/Sounds like "EHN" (as in "egg") + "SOOS" (as in "soup") + "DEE" (as in "deep") + "ahs" (as in "art")/
Meaning
A polite, indirect way of saying someone is on their period, used across Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and Spain. It appears wherever naming menstruation directly feels too blunt. Worth noting: using it to explain a woman's mood is a quick way to come across as dismissive.
Examples
“She is on her period right now, maybe give her some space.”
“I am on my period and everything hurts, I do not feel like doing anything.”
