Word Definitions

I found this website when I was trying to find out what fortnight meant. I heard that word on How Clean Is Your House and I had no idea what it meant. Aggie asked someone how often you were supposed to totally change out the liner and litter in a cat box, and the lady's reply was "once a fortnight." Here's what fortnight means:


fortnight (FORT nite) noun A period of 14 days and nights; two weeks.

Use this word and everyone will think you're English or maybe Canadian. Which I suppose would be correct if you are. Not that it's un-American for a Yank to use it, just unusual.
