Fortnight is used extensively.

Interesting. Here in America instead of saying fortnight we just eat an entire pizza (with diet Coke to wash it down).

My father used olive oil to slick back his hair. There was always a small bottle in the bathroom.

It was a shock to me to learn as I got a bit older that people put the stuff on food.

Even these days I can be in a swank restaurant, of the type frequented by VPs and Deputy VPs ( if we had them) , and, p reprandial, as I am sipping my shiraz and dipping my bruschetta into the organic locally made cold pressed olive oil with balsamic vinegar, the smell will trigger memories of my dad's hair.
