PMS
Apparently there are some poetic metaphors that women don't appreciate. Telling them they have PMS is one of them. You might just think that it's a fairly indirect way to hint that they are acting slightly irrational. It's a non-offensive way to point out behaviors more emotional than normal. I can see why telling a girl she seems to be having abnormal hormonal fluctuations would be hurtful. But to say she has PMS when she obviously doesn't? That's just a way of saying with exaggerated humor that she is not being herself.
But apparently I'm all wrong. It seems that the PMS line is like a slap in the face of a girl, no matter what the mood is. So whatever you do, don't tell a girl she has PMS. Even if it is the truth. In fact, just don't bring it up with a girl in any context. Probably also with just guys as well, to be safe.
