  • she Ooh, oh! Overmorrow. Aug 15, 2008

  • bilby So did we ever locate a word for the day after tomorrow? Aug 15, 2008

  • meeralee I just remembered that Hebrew has words for "the day before yesterday," "the day after tomorrow," and "yesternight." I'm not sure if any of them have adjectival forms, though. Feb 17, 2007

  • uselessness What can I say? I had a sheltered childhood. ;-) Feb 16, 2007

  • abraxaszugzwang uselessness, you're awful touchy about your naughty sounding words, aren't you? Haha! Feb 16, 2007

  • chained_bear I thought the same thing, but that was nudiustertia.
    (Yes, I know I've taken liberties with this word but there doesn't seem to be a suitable form. So, it's mine now.) Feb 16, 2007

  • uselessness I would love a briefer word with the same meaning. But this particular term is a little too close to "nude distortion" for me, and I cannot speak it. Feb 16, 2007

  • reesetee I dunno. Good word, to be sure, but it sounds like one of those that would cause people to look at you strangely, as if you just suggested they take off all of their clothes. ;-) Feb 16, 2007

  • chained_bear Dude. This is now one of my favorite words.

    How many times, Lord, how many?! Have I wished for a word to describe "day before yesterday," and lo! It was there all along, and I, simply too ignorant to know about it. *sigh* Thank you, Wordies. I am home. Feb 15, 2007

  • sionnach also here, one of my favorite word sites. Well, not a citation so much as a definition. Feb 15, 2007

  • meeralee None of the standard links will find anything on this word, but there's a citation here and another here. Feb 15, 2007

  • sionnach I find it awesome that English has an adjective as specific as this; it's along the same lines as antepenultimate, I suppose. Jan 30, 2007

  • gwaldon pertaining to the day before yesterday Dec 6, 2006
