Someone tell me what the votey means:
The aunt wants her to ... bleed?
I get most of the others, except maybe the last one: bun in the oven, horizontal mambo, family jewels, one-eyed trouser snake (a sure way to get killed if you use that as a pick-up line), ... not sure what "we had words" is supposed to reference.
Aunt Flo arriving is, I assume, a euphemism for menstruation. The joke is that the euphemism becomes redundant when she mentions the very word she would be trying to avoid in the euphemism itself. I posted this earlier, only for the server to go down. But yes, reminds me of a scene in the IT crowd.

"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.

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.
Police said they spent some time working out if they could charge the man with being armed with a weapon, as technically he was armed with part of a fish.
