What's an obsolete or incredibly obscure word you think people should know? (leminal.space)

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

Übermorgen, the german word for overmorrow, is in abundant use in Germany. It's far from obsolete or obscure over here.

Same for overmogen in the Netherlands. And eergisteren for the day before yesterday.

In Poland it's "pojutrze" - after tomorrow, and "przedwczoraj" - before yesterday (those are also literal translations just as i wrote). Also in common and constant usage.

Same for the Romanian "poimâine" (after tomorrow). We also have "alaltăieri" (the other yesterday). They are in use, quite common.
