ragtime festival

When a group of women all get their periods at the same time.

At the office today, it was nothing but a ragtime festival. All of the women in accounting were bitching about the vending machine being out of chocolate - the whole freakin' day.

Ragtime Shuffle

The masturbation one has to resort to in order to relieve sexual tension when one's female partner is menstruating and either unable or unwilling to partake in vaginal sex. Usually refers to a solo act but can also refer to the hand relief supplied by the menstruating partner.

1. I say, darling, as you're on blob this week any chance of a Ragtime Shuffle? I really need to shift this dirty water off my chest.

2. Yeah, got in last night with a diamond cutter only to find that her indoors has got the painters in. So it was upstairs into the bog for a quick Ragtime Shuffle before tea. Sorted.
