monthlies noun the bleed period of the menstrual cycle UK, 1872- My mother’s voice would drop as she whispered, “She’s got her monthlies” (knowing look). In Australia in the 1980s “Women’s Weekly” magazine changed to being published monthly. This caused no end of jokes that the name could hardly be changed to the “Women’s Monthly”. — a correspondent The Museum of Menstruation and Women’s Health, May 2001
