What we need, if you ask me (and no one has - Ed) is a combination "People-Say-Dunderheaded-Shiiteheaded-Things" slash "Don't Panic!" translator device.

or not so much a universal word translator as an:

Universal Motive-and-Intent Translator!

*pause*

Some Women/Womyn (and/or Myn -Ed) could have the thing set to perpetually report "WARNING! S/he's PMS'ing, do NOT take her comments too personally at this time, but also do not for the love of your testicles, make light of what she's saying at this time either, basically just agree a lot and if you do somehow find yourself in the middle of an argumet despite your having actively tried to avoid one, just PANIC!"

.."or jog around her in a circle a few times and then run away screaming - I find that works best."

The male (bi and/or butch dyke) equivalent of PMSing takes place right after our team loses yet another shot at the Stanley Cup.  Where it's a safe bet that if you are a car, you will probably be turned over and lit on fire.  So the solution there is not to be a car.
