Instances of unmodified hair-day

[Donald M. Lance]

It's a matter of reference, not ideolect or "correct" bracketing.  We have snow days.  We
have travel days.  When dieting, we have carb days, meat days, potassium & calcium days,
etc.  I have good and bad computer days, and I have stupid-computer days.  And we've
recently had computer-hacker days, which can be shortened to hacker days.
