Nobody wants to hear about what you did with that stuffed turkey.

Back in the Bad Times, when I was missing weeks of class at a time, I would tell people when I got back that I had just returned from a visit to Catatonia.

I like to think that that's where Aunt Flo lives, with all her other euphemism friends.

That does not sound good. Have you seen a doctor about it?

Aaah. I had no idea.

And the "we had words"?
Aunt Flo is visiting is one, the painters are in is another, or that you had a visit from your friend.

None of them cover five days of excruciating pain while your body excretes dead matter

This comic, more than any before, actually reminds me of XKCD.

Aaah, now it makes sense.

English sure has weird euphemisms.

"We had words" is what you say to your kids when you've been arguing pretty heavily. It's a "half-euphemism" because the content of those words is pretty clear.
