As the old fashioned saying goes everything bad for women startes with the word MEN,menastration, menopause. I was having a real bad hot flash one time in a resturant and my daughter at the time was around 7 y.o and she speaks right out in a load voice, "Oh moma's having another HOT Fudgie" that got everyone in the resturant roaring in laughter. My face was scarlet from the hot fudgie and embarassment.
