I Know There’s A Word
There should be a word for “the day after tomorrow”. It a term that comes up enough, there should be a name for it. Like “snoober”. It even has a “day after tomorrow” sound to it. The French have the word “lendemain” which means “the next day”, but it’s all in the context, because the meaning depends on what day you were talking about to start with.
But think about it:
“Heavy showers are expected tomorrow with brighter skies snoober and right on into the weekend.”
I also think it could be a popular term with people who build national stadiums.
Yeah, OK, I know it’s stadia, but I didn’t want to go saying it, because people who say that are annoying. Like when they order risotti or (snork) two cappuccini. Or folks who ask for pints of Guinni down a pub instead of Guinnesses. They may be right, but they sound like peni.
Hey thanks to my home(page)y Iain for publishing this while I was away. Handing your blog over to someone else feels a bit like lending someone your toothbrush, but the secret “How’s My Publishing?” email alert I set up remained comment-free over my holiday, confirming my suspicions that it was always going to be in better hands than mine.

Cheers pal.
So, here we are.

You mean you had a whole week to find a word for ‘day after tomorrow’ and the best you could come up with was ’snoober’?

OK, how about “stim”? Or “hustem”?
“Plintal”?
I’m a little rusty.

I think it’s got to have sometrhing to do with ‘morrow’- ‘nextmorrow’, or ‘postmorrow’, or something.
Hm, this is harder than it sounds. Maybe ’snoober’ isn’t so bad after all….

How about “d’morrow?”
