unbirthdays
Other 364 days
Unbirthdays are every day of the year except your actual birthday—the 364 days when it isn't your birthday.
The concept comes from Lewis Carroll's *Through the Looking-Glass*, where characters celebrate these non-occasions with gifts and festivities.
The word survives mainly as a playful reference to Carroll: Happy unbirthday to you!
