A humorous or
exaggerated way to say the span of time or space separating two distinct events. Often used when the gap feels notable, dramatic or
oddly specific. Slightly more whimsical than between.
Preposition adverb hybrid, informal.
I’ve only cried twice in my life, once out of anger and once when
my dog died. The time betweenst those two crying events was several years, which is why I say I don’t cry often.
The last time I checked my bank account and the next time I dared to look again, the period betweenst was emotionally
necessary.
