Um how exactly am I supposed to NaNoWriMo over here when Wikipedia won’t tell me what they called menopause in olden times?

  1. jessabelle2o7 answered: MENSES. (But I prefer “my lady time.”)
  2. inthefade answered: It was called “The Age of Unclean”
  3. philleum answered: Don’t quote me on this, but I’m betting it was something like “Danger, Will Robinson!”
  4. erikonymous answered: dry hag
  5. ameliaelizabeth answered: Obviously it was a fourteen-worded term that had no hyphens. Which will be super helpful to your wordcount.
  6. tinyclicks answered: “Moon Blood”
  7. hehewaitwhat answered: i don’t think they lived that long, but for nanowrimo i think “meemawleaknomo” would be fine.
  8. zolora answered: Croneration?
  9. blanddiva11 answered: Women didn’t live long enough to experience menopause. Lucky bitches.

  15. baileygenine answered: To find the word you use your mother’s maiden name plus the street you grew up on and then after you’re done crying try a dictionary.
  16. brentbillock answered: “Change of life” didn’t used to mean implants and radical surgery.
  17. crookedindifference answered: be our king
  18. ampersands answered: I think they just went from ‘unclean’ to ‘witches’.
