3I've never heard either of these phrases before but I suspect the first is done with artistic license and is not normally spoken. The second is also either idiomatic or an individual idiosyncrasy as all people I know would say "this morning".– FrustratedWithFormsDesignerCommented May 16, 2012 at 17:46

7It's not artistic license. "Thursday week" appears in "Peter Pan": “But, my dear madam, it is ten days till thursday week; so that by telling you what's what, we can save you ten days of unhappiness.” “Yes, but at what a cost!– Paul ReinersCommented May 16, 2012 at 17:49

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- Review existing tags and read their descriptions to learn when they should be used.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. single-word-requests), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
