Period stains

The reddish tinted residue from the menstrual cycle, most commonly observed in white underwear. A more serious instance would be if the girl's pants also exhibited stains.

"Man, did you see Keisha today?"
"No, why?"
"She got some serious period stains on the go."

The Grace Period Theory

The first 3-4 months of a relationship. Everything seems to be "perfect"- no problems, no arguments, and sex is a common thing. If The Grace Period was a smell, it would smell like roses. Once The Grace Period is over the person you once loved changes into the person you will soon hate. Sex becomes a thing of the past, conversing is replaced by arguing, hugging and kissing is replaced by slapping and pushing, and your relationship turns into a jail sentence. You ask yourself, "How did I get myself into this mess". Looking at your partner becomes as hard as listening to Nickelback. Your social life is non-existant, either because all of your friends hate who your partner has become or they can't stand the person your partner has turned you into. Once The Grace Period is over, it's only a matter of time before your relationship is as well. Only a few are lucky enough to maintain a successful relationship after The Grace Period has concluded.

Couple during The Grace Period Theory:

Male- "Hey babe! What do you want to do tonight?"
Female- "As long as I'm with you; nothing else matters"

*Male starts to smile intensely*
Male- "I love you"
*Female drops to her knees and unzips his pants*

Couple after Grace Period:

Male- *sighs* "What do you want to do tonight"
Female- "First of all, I'm the woman! You're suppose to decide what we're doing and where we're going! Secondly, it better be somewhere nice! I endured that cheap bull a few months ago but not anymore!"
Male- "Forget this! You shouldn't tell me what to do! I'm your boyfriend not your employee!"
Female- "Shut up and make me a sammich"

Couple after the relationship:

Female- "I can't believe I ever loved that loser, he didn't even make that much! God damn community college student"
Girl friends reply- "Yeah, girl- we told you from the start that he was a loser"

Male friends- "We told you, bro. She was ugly and a bitch"
Male- "Yeah, I know... But I kind of miss her..."

period 

The greatest excuse/scapegoat in the world.

"Sorry I can't today, I'm on my period."

period 

A time a woman's vagina bleeds. It's annoying to both males and females.

Will often cause a girl to go from calm and sane (well, at least as calm and sane as a girl can get) to violent, batshit insane and irrational.

Note to all guys: Stay the fuck away from a girl on her period unless you like getting hulk smashed 20 feet below the ground.

"Jenny is on her period."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah. I'm now missing 7 teeth and an eyeball."
