Subject: [ale] Humorous meetup term

I was poking around exercism.com<http://exercism.com> during my involuntary sabbatical, and ran across this terminology:
"Note that "Monteenth", "Tuesteenth", etc are all made up words. There was a meetup whose members realised that there are exactly 7 days that end in '-teenth'. Therefore, one is guaranteed that each day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, ...) will have exactly one date that is named with '-teenth' in every month."
