You should give him a cryptic "female problems." That may get the response you want without a whole lot of extra explaining.
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Man, is there anything worse than having cramps o' doom WHILE AT WORK and really wanting to go home but not wanting to explain why to your MALE boss?
actually, that's better. They get scared and don't want to know the details. "Female trouble" is scary. Sexist, but it works for us.
eta: great minds, allieann.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
When my alarm woke me this morning, I looked at the time and for a moment, honestly could not figure out why I would ever want to get up at that hour. Then the brain clicked in and forced my body up and into the shower. I'm still mad at my brain.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Is AIM giving anyone else problems with signing on?

See, Vortex agrees, that means it must be so!
Either that or you rush into his office, tell him in a panicked voice that the communists are invading and you have to go, and then take off and don't come back the rest of the day. He'll be entertained for hours trying to figure it out!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I like to think of it as subverting the sexism.

Considering I'm older than all my male bosses, I enjoy the look of terror when I say, "Look, it's female stuff." It appeals to the bitch that I am at those times. I'm waiting for one of them to say, "Huh?", then I'll say, "Are you married? Do you have a girlfriend? Sisters? If not, it might be illegal in Utah to tell you about this."
