Chicago

  • Our triannual guilty pleasure franchise is back with the latest season of The Bachelorette. We’re in a fantasy league with a dozen other friends: the winner gets some cash, the loser gets a truly horrible thematic prize, and we all get something to chat about on a Monday night.

    Triannual is commonly used to mean one of two things: occurring once every three years or occurring three times per year. It is a synonym of the less commonly used triennial, which can mean every three years or lasting for three years.
