A new word "oxt"

[caitlin o]

It doesn't in my experience because one can say "next Friday" to refer to the closest coming Friday or to the oxt Friday.  I know people who frequently inter-change "this" and "next" in this context because they're never sure which their audience prefers.  It's annoyed me for a very long time. I have taken to specifying the date, or always using the phrase "not this coming Friday, but the Friday after that". 
Personally, I am very excited about oxt.
