Answer 7

Girls release an egg once a month.  That egg is what can make them pregnant.  They follow a monthly cycle, or period.  During the last 5 days or so of this cycle, if they do not get pregnant, they bleed down there and it clears everything out to start the cycle over.  That is why they need pads and tampons and things, and they get cranky at that time of the month.

Answer 14

Ages back, when you were a kid in school, between classes, if you saw a girl run to the ladies room often, it meant that she is now ready to be a woman. If you can count the number of periods in this answer, you know what a period is.

Answer 15

Period may refer to:

1.Period(music)

A period is a phrase consisting usually of an antecedent and consequent and totaling about 8 measures in length (though this varies depending on meter and tempo). Generally, the antecedent ends in a half cadence while the consequent ends in an authentic cadence. Frequently, the consequent strongly parallels the antecedent, even sharing most of the material save the final measures. In other cases, the consequent may differ greatly (for example, the period in the beginning of the second movement of the Pathetique sonata).

The 1958 Encyclopédie Fasquelle defines a period as follows:

"A complex phrase, in which the various parts are enchained."

Another definition:

"In traditional music...a group of measures comprising a natural division of the melody; usually regarded as comprising two or more contrasting or complementary phrases and ending with a cadence." (Harvard Dictionary of Music, 1969

2.Period(rhetoric)

In rhetoric, a period is an unusually impressive, well-balanced, and stately sentence. Strictly speaking, a periodic sentence is a sentence whose opening clauses do not express a complete thought until the main clause, which typically comes at the end. The preceding clauses are often many, and exhibit parallel constructions and other rhetorical balancing devices. The overall effect should be of a slow sentence building to a climax. An example from Jeremy Taylor's Holy Living and Holy Dying illustrates how these sentences can be used to great effect:

[But so have I seen a Rose newly springing from the clefts of its hood], [and at first it was fair as the Morning], [and full with the dew of Heaven], [as a Lambs fleece]; [but when a ruder breath had forced open its virgin modesty], [and dismantled its too youthful and unripe retirements], [it began to put on a darknesse], [and to decline its softnesse], [and the symptomes of a sickly age]; [it bowed the head], [and broke its stalk], [and at night having lost some of its leaves], [and all of its beauty], [it fell into the portion of weeds and outworn faces].

Observe how each bracketed clause is incomplete without the closing clause, which contains the main verb fell. Observe also how the several clauses in the sentence play against one another, reinforcing each other with parallel structures and internal assonance.

A period opens like a collapsible telescope, each phrase developing out of the preceding one:

"Aretino prospered, living from hand to mouth as a hanger-on in the literate circle of his patron, sharpening his satirical talents on the gossip of politics and the papal curia, and turning the coarse Roman pasquinade into a rapier weapon of satire, until his sixteen ribald Sonetti Lussuriosi, written to accompany Giulio Romano's exquisitely beautiful but utterly pornographic drawings, falling into the hands of an engraver, finally lost him the public patronage of Pope Leo X." — Wikipedia, Pietro Aretino

Periodic sentences are common in Greek and Latin writers such as Cicero, who is generally considered to be the Western world's master in this rhetorical device. English writers whose works are famous for their well-crafted periodic sentences include:

Sir Thomas Browne

Edward Gibbon

Samuel Johnson

Jeremy Taylor

Thomas de Quincey

Sir Winston Churchill

4.Menstrual cycle

5.full stop

A period or full stop, also called a full point, is the punctuation mark commonly placed at the end of several different types of sentences in English and several other languages. A period consists of a small dot placed at the end of a line of text, such as at the end of this sentence.

The term "period" is also used, vernacularly, to terminate a phrase or thought with finality and emphasis, as in "I told him I was leaving him, peroid." The term full stop is used in the same sense in the U.K.

Answer 16

When I was at school we had eight periods a day, four in the morning and four in the afternoon.

The worst kind of period was a double period especially if it was for French or Maths. The best kind of period is a free period, when you could skive off and play pool.

Next best was Wednesday afternoon, when you got four periods of sport. Is there anything else I can tell you about periods?
