Edit: BTW do you have much personal experience with soixante-neuf? It usually precedes deployment of the dicks in traditional roles.

(I'd agree that Bi-monthly would mean 24 meetings a year - which in my book is 23 times of headscratching too many)

Much the same in Boston. People will say at "quarter of" when they mean "quarter to". My parents used to say five and twenty past or five and twenty to when something wasn't quite on the half hour. I don't recall anyone else saying that so it may have been a feature of a dialect limited to their house.

Re: Bi-curious M looking for answers
it was definitely a Leicester phrase too - but only when it was actually 25 past or 25 to the hour.
