Oxt Weekend

Not a bad idea, changing what we commonly refer to as the next next weekend to “oxt weekend”.

People often use the phrase “next weekend” to describe the future weekend, but this can lead to confusion. While some interpret “next weekend” to mean this coming weekend, others interpret it as the weekend after, hence the use of the awkward, overly wordy, “not this weekend but the weekend after.” Oxt weekend is a new phrase you can use instead of saying “not this weekend but the weekend after.”

Some examples:

A: You going somewhere this weekend? Or was it oxt weekend?

B: I’m working next weekend. And oxt weekend. I swear, I’m going to burn this whole place down some day.

A: How about oxt weekend? How about oxt weekend? You say that every week! Just admit you’d rather play WoW than go out with me. Admit it. Admit it!

And my social scene takes the examples down with them. Regardless, this is a nifty neologism that I can get behind. Plus, there’s a blog flair image, if you’re so inclined.
