I don't know why women call it "having their period." Based on how they act, it should be called having their exclamation point, amirite?

Not only women call it their period though. And for all we know, women may not have come up with it, or a translation just made it sound weird.

The term comes from the fact that the bleeding occurs periodically in the menstrual cycle.
