      I’m in Indonesia rn and I can confirmed at least the Indonesian one is true. “Datang bulan” (literally “Moon comes”) is the more formal way to say that someone has their period. But most Indonesians speak slang here which is just “Dapet” (“Get”) so someone usually says “Aku/gue lagi dapet” (“I’m getting [it] right now”). Guessing it started as a code but now everyone knows and just roll with it.

      The lingonberry one was pretty common where I grew up in a Swedish speaking area in Finland, so I know that one is real.

        Ever since my wife and I saw this, we’ve been using “the communists are in the funhouse”. I don’t care if it wasn’t real before, it’s too good not to use it now.
