thenabouts 

Denoting a general time period (i.e. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday) centered around a specific point in time (i.e. Monday). The surrounding time is thus linked to the specific point and is considered in the same "bracket" of time. Similar to the word "thereabouts" as it denotes a general location of a place in space, thenabouts is used to estimate or give a general location of a place in time and can be used to denote a specific time of day or a group of days, generally one on either side of the specified day.
Example:

(Hour)

Franz: When are you getting back to Santa Barbara?
Esmerelda: Well I'm probably going to take the trip slowly, so I'd imagine seven o'clock or thenabouts.

(Day)

Franz: When are you getting back to Santa Barbara?
Esmerelda: Saturday, so I'll see you Sunday or thenabouts.

whereabouts 

Approximately where. I am utterly disgusted and sick of the insane lack of dignity on this "dictionary" - inordinate cussing, inappropriate folly, and other things not worth mentioning. I pray this definition will cause a rebellion on this evil dictionary that it may return and rebel against this evil age and return to TRUTH of good, solid definitions.
