the term “cake day” just makes me think of r*ddit. I’ve seen Lemon Day going around, but we probably want to avoid affiliation with lemon party.

not that we can tell anybody what to do anyway, and each instance could even have its own. anyway, it needs to be something that obviously means “anniversary” and doesn’t require explanation otherwise it’ll just be annoying

    which is why I’m asking for sources of it being used prior to reddit. I’m not arguing one way or another

      Oxford English Dictionary says the first instance of the phrase “cake day” was from a diary entry in the 1800s.

        is there a way for me to get around to the OED online pay walls so I can see the details?
