A common one in Guatemala is “I am with Andrés, the guy visits me once a month.”

Garibaldi is coming is oddly menacing.
A common one in German is Erdbeerwoche (strawberry week).
I have never heard this expression. Which part of Germany is that from?
I have heard it in numerous places. More predominantly in west to north-west states. But I also remember that TV ads have used this term. So I would say it’s used nation-wide.
I seem to have missed it in the north east and central Germany. Then again, I don’t think I ever heard someone say something other than “Ich habe meine Tage” except for some creepy dudes with skeleton T-Shirts talking about being brave seamen that don’t fear the red sea.

I can see that. Your suggestions is a lot Solstheimer than what I wrote. Is it the Solstheimest though?
A bit of context for the Indonesian one, the way “moon” is used there is similar to month, so it’s basically “the time of the month is here” said as “datang bulan”
It’s the same in English. Menstruation, month, and moon all derive from the Ancient Greek word for the moon.
