Subject: Re: Thursday week



Bethany spake thusly:

>"Do you know the expression "Thursday, week" (or it could be any proper name

>of any weekday, "week")? In case you don't know the phrase, it means "a

>week from this coming Thursday."



My British and Irish friends all use

"Thursday, a week" with the meaning

you describe.
