This is topic I don't like it when people ask questions through song that I know the answer to in forum Books, Films, Food and Culture at Hatrack River Forum.
Answer: Annually.

Which reminds me of a question I had last night that I could easily find an answer to online but would rather post here:
What does "perennial" mean in the phrase "Bambi is a perennial favorite"
surely it doesn't mean once every two years?
Posted by Taalcon (Member # 839) on :
No, it means year-by-year, or recurrent.
Posted by Boon (Member # 4646) on :
Lasting or active through the year or through many years.
Lasting an indefinitely long time; enduring: perennial happiness. Appearing again and again; recurrent.

Biannual is every two years, I believe. Or at least it is for plants.
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
Semi-annual is twice a year.
Posted by Leonide (Member # 4157) on :
so...annual means once a year, and perennial means throughout the year? I guess that makes sense..
Posted by Taalcon (Member # 839) on :
Not throughout - recurring. As in, "Bambi is a favorite year after year."
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
And an annual plant only lives one year at most.

I thought you measured a year in raindrops and cups of coffee, or five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes.

Well, given that they're not Christian, they might not care . . .

"Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?"
Or as it is sometimes rendered, "Why do birds suddenly appear every time I park here?"

Did the fairytale deconstructors ever link "Oh where, oh where has my little dog gone?" to Asian cuisine?

Mmmm...Hot dogs!

Hobbes, my chemistry teacher asked that once "hey, does anyone know offhand how many minutes are in a year?" (he was totally joking, of course), and three people immediately went "five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes!"
He looked rather taken aback. Posted by Jonathan Howard (Member # 6934) on :

Biannual is the term.
Happening every two years is biennial. Check Dic.com for info.
