Almost 73 years old, and this is the first year that I've heard it called that.

Same here - and am a good bit older than that - maybe it's been used earlier and my hearing didn't pick it up. I ain't really leaping into it though - some jaw surgery scheduled.

I grew up with that term. What about Sadie Hawkins Day?

In Ireland, February 29th was the only day women were allowed to propose marriage.

Those born on the 29th of February stay very young, since they mark only a quarter of the birthdays of everyone else.

My black bitch, a lovely little girl named Layla, a black female mixed breed beagle size mutt, turns three years old on February 29. Well, really twelve years old. She was born on February 29, 2012. Happy Birthday Layla!

Leap year has a leap day. I don't think that's anything new.

Pretty amazing they figured out the need for it back in the BC days.

This.

They didn't even have calculators.

I got married on Leap Day.

You had me worried for a few seconds, there.

Saves you a lot of money on anniversary gifts.

That’s what I was thinking. She outsmarted me and now we celebrate on the 2-28 and 3-1 on non leap yrs.

Exactly, Don't know what the fuss is about.

I plan on makin’ myself scarce around the wimmen folk today!

You wouldn't want them to be flocking around you seeking your hand in marriage.

Nope!!!

Back in the Before Christ Days, or back in the early days of British Columbia?

A day the Lord hath made., Let us rejoice, and be glad in it.

A day the Lord hath made., Let us rejoice, and be glad in it.

Anyone plan to watch the Netflix remake of Woody Harralson's "Whit Men Can't Jump?


"Homie Doan Leap"?

Look up 1752. Britain lost 11 days one month when the switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian.

Being that workers got paid daily and rents were due monthly, people got pissed.

I would imagine that the bitching ran second only to the current bitching about DST.

I was married on this day 40 years ago.

Or was it 10 years ago?

I've lived through twenty of them..

If you screw up today you have to wait four years for your mulligan.
