Similar to Twixmas, except Twixpiphany is the time between Jan 1 and Jan 6, when it is still technically 'Christmas' as it is not yet Twelfth Night, but with New Year celebrated and a return to work, consists of eating the last Christmas leftovers (mince pies, Twiglets etc) and the favourite phrase 'Have you STILL got that tree up?'
Of course, in most European countries which actually have Epiphany as a bank holiday, Twixpiphany is the countdown to Christmas's closing party.

A score of 25 indicates sex, with 35 mindblowingly good sex.

A dull, middle aged man who works long hours and therefore for whom a bank holiday is one of a few days off they get in a year. As a result, despite rarely venturing outside their home town for most of the year, feel obliged to go on a day or weekend trip to a hackneyed tourist destination like Blackpool or Rhyl for the day even if the weather is awful. Usually found in a traffic jam with a Bingo Maud (not yet defined) on the M6 in a Fiat Uno, often towing a caravan.
