Still can't beat stuff like "bi-weekly" which can mean "every two weeks" or "twice a week" or probably some other thing as well.

- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 2y agoAs is often the case, Randall Munroe has already delivered: https://xkcd.com/1602/ https://xkcd.com/1602/. Perhaps the joke in this context would be if it said "bi-weekly". "You should come to our Linguistics Club's bi-weekly meeting. Membership is open to anyone who can figure out how often we meet." (I mean, you have a 50-50 shot. I wonder if there's any personality insights one could learn from such a selection.)
