Once a fort night...

Without Googling what this means... Does anyone in America that reads my blog know what this phrase means (Once a fort night)?

I've heard people use it a couple times here and always wonder "what the?". I of course Googled it and asked Jeremy if anyone has ever said it at his work. He laughed and said, "Yes, why? Did you not know what it meant either?"

**Update**
Once a fort night means: "Bi-Weekly" or "Every other week". We found out the "Fort" came from the number 14 for 14 nights/2 weeks.

  1. Jas said it's either 2 weeks or 40 days. And yes, we've both heard the saying and people do use it here in America. :D He did check the internet after he told me. And guess why he knows what it is? You got it - his game playing and movies still use it.
