Overmorrow refers to the day after tomorrow and I feel like it comes in quite handy for example.

    Interrobang.

    It’s this thing: ‽

    More people should use the symbol because it looks cool and has a badass name, so for that you need to know what it’s called.

    Who’s with me‽

      Interrobang sounds like something from a porno about police work.

      “Did you question the suspect?”

      “Yeah, Chief, we interrobanged him and got the info.”

        Questioning a bang.

        My quick and dirty interrobang with her revealed to me how empty inside I was, unlike the outhouse we were in.

        Or a fully themed, punctuation inspire flick. Named “character” to let you fill in the blanks.

        Char 1: Well what do you think Mark?

        Char 2: Are you sure she can handle it, Point?

        Char 1: Its time we’ve shown

        Char 2: our true power…

        Together: As Interrobang!

        Char 3: No wait, I’ve got my per…

          Is it still pornographic? “Detective, dash over here and interpunct my colon”, “don’t full stop, I’m about to comma”, etc, etc.

      While I like the concept, I can’t help but prefer ‘!?’ or ‘?!’. There’s more granularity of meaning, and I think it just looks nicer having two or more separate characters.

        Yeah, but you aren’t proper if you’re using more than one piece of punctuation at the end of your sentence. Them’s the rules.

        Unless…
