unbirthday
Any other day
An unbirthday is any day that isn't your birthday—meaning you have 364 (or 365) of them each year.
The term comes from Lewis Carroll's *Through the Looking-Glass*, where characters celebrate these non-occasions with gifts.
It's used playfully to mark arbitrary celebrations or give someone a present for no particular reason: Happy unbirthday! I saw this and thought of you.
