no-it actually means you were caught red-handed-it's not dirty...I think the red in this term means "blood",as in you were caught wuth prove that you are guilty...

I've never heard this expression but it sounds like "the cat that swallowed the canary" or "you've got guilt written all over your face". It is quite probably a reference to the exploding ink-packs that banks slip into the cash when they're robbed. The thief goes to take the money out of the bag and KABLAMO! the ink-pack explodes, covering the thief with red ink.

It refers to menstruation.
That's It!
I can't get into specifics, you'll be able to figure it out eventually. Don't ask your Mom, either~ She may not understand.
