I'm still amazed that there is short English word for "a person that makes up crosswords" (cruciverbalist) and there is none for "the day after tomorrow".

@fenwick67 More sense makes methomorrow, like some junkie pun.

@nobody Overmorrow sounds like literal translation from many languages, how do you mean nobody plans 2 days ahead? You must overdrink on Friday so you can recover on Saturday on Sunday so you can be ready for work on Monday. Weekend drinkers do that all the time.

@johny I was just trying to come up with a joke reason it might have fallen out of use. I like the sound of the word Ubermorgen a lot better than Overmorrow, myself. Might have been as simple as a historical tonal preference for "the day after tomorrow"

@johny Maybe it's time to popularize ubermorgen/overmorrow.

@stickman Also on other languages overmorrow is literal translation of the word. But sounds kinda funny.

@johny You're right! let's make one up! How about postnextday?

@jannamark Too long, maybe something in mastodon meme spirit, tomorrow'nt? Not so intuitive?

@jannamark Or is like tomorrow'nt like today or yesterday. I don't know, making up words that we need is for sure hard stuff.

@jannamark Tomorrow++ made me laugh. Maybe you should recommend it to Oxford dictionary? Get some money as reward?
