leap year

(n.) A year where Febuary has 29 days. This is because the earth actually takes 365.24 days to orbit the sun completely. This figure is rounded to 365.25, so after four years, we have to add an extra day. However, since it is actually a little less than a whole day, every 100 years we will be a day ahead. There are 10 leap years in 100 years, and hence, we must miss one of these years. This was last done in 1900, and shall next be done in 2100, hence, it is unlikely many of us will live to see the next one, unless this definitions is still here (along with urbandictionary of course!) in many years' time.
1) Every year divisible by four is a leap year (1996,2000, 2004);

2) Unless it is also divisible by 100 (1700, 1800, 1900, 2100).


3) However, if a year is divisible by 4, 100 and 400, it is a leap year (1600, 2000, 2400)

leap year drunk

The level of drunkenness that you're only dumb enough to achieve every four years or so. Utterly shattered. A leap year drunk usually results in an epic story of debauchery that can only be told by the friends of the victim, or, often, total strangers you you gave your phone number to.

Menstrual cycle leap year

That time of the month, when that time of the month is supposed to happen, but is delayed. This is due to the fact the leap year affected the menstrual cycle.

This can sometimes cause a woman to believe that she is pregnant. When in fact, it is simply the menstrual leap year at work.
Natalie: Ermahgerd, my period is late. I must be prego!
