At first I laughed at the name "New Pink Floyd", but then I thought about The New Christy Minstrels and New Order and suddenly naming your band "New Eagles" or "New Led Zeppelin" didn't seem as dumb as putting a random number in your band name.

2. Bands with more "Greatest Hits" compilations than actual hits
3. Band names that begin with "New" where there also a band without "New"

Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 4:50pm

Maybe the antonym of "fortnightly" is the inverse of it. Thus, 14 times in one day rather than once every 14 days.

But there's no word for that unless we coin one.

Yup, "quatuordenary" would be 14x/day. But the idea that that would be the inverse of fortnightly and thus serve as an antonym was inspired
