The Ides of March

(also abbreviated, but rare, as The Ides): the period between March 10 and 19 (March 19 inclusive).

Gaius Julius Caesar (Caesar's full Latin name) was assassinated during The Ides of March, the date most often accepted being March 15. Therefore, according to my family tradition, never give your sweetheart flowers during The Ides of March, even if it is her birthday.
