very common in finnish too, ”ylihuomenna” and ”toissapäivänä”, surely you have at least at some point in your life done something two days ago?

Repost this overmorrow. Mention that you had already posted this today, which would allow you to successfully deploy… the fact that someone has misplaced February 29th

You could use it overmorrow if you repost this?

Until now!

Here's a cool hack for getting to use it: just say "You know what they say: yesterday's tomorrow is overmorrow's ereyesterday!" and refuse to elaborate or field any questions.

Interestingly neither of these posts are showing in my following feed. Have you perhaps angered some sort of linguistic entity

My kid uses overmorrow like it's common language and fully adopted "overyesterday" independent of any other humans.

should really be ere’sterday or, ereyester’, for casual usage

Overmorrow you can use it to describe sharing today =)

A day too late for ereyeaterday to be the antepenultimate day of February but maybe this month we can work it in

the cognates to both of these are quite common in Dutch; 'overmorgen' and 'eergisteren'

I need to learn Dutch. From the perspective of an English speaker everything feels so whimsical and fun

I LOVE overmorgen what a lovely word

talesofmythandmayhem.com•2 days ago

Same in German Uebermorgen and Vorgestern. (Sorry, no umlaut on my keyboard)

talesofmythandmayhem.com•2 days ago

Also "Vor-Vorgestern" etc.

Eer-eergisteren and over-overmorgen are perfectly acceptable in Dutch as well :)

It's normal to use in Danish too, "overmorgen" and "forgårs."
