It's high TIME you bagged my exclusive NordVPN deal + 4 months extra here → https://nordvpn.com/robwordsvpn It’s risk-free with Nord’s 30-day money-back guarantee! ✌️ What is a second the "second" of? What time should noon actually be? And how can "hour" and "year" mean the same thing (because they do!)? Join me as I investigate the hidden meanings of our words for time. Did you know we used to have a word for the day after tomorrow? It was "overmorrow". We also had a word for the day before yesterday, which was "ereyesterday". What's more, we used to call a week a "sennight".
