Leap Day
"2月29日 跳躍(ちょうやく)の日
閏(うるう)年の翌年の曜日は、一つ飛び越してふたつずれます。
このことから、英語では閏年のことを"leap day"、飛び越える日といいます。
かつてイギリスでは、この日だけは女性から男性へのプロポーズが伝統的に公認され、男性はそれを断ることができませんでした。"
"February 29th - Leap Day
The weekday following a leap year shifts not by one day but by two, effectively "leaping" forward.
Because of this, leap years are referred to as "leap day" in English.
In the past, in the United Kingdom, this day was traditionally recognized as the one time when women were allowed to propose to men, and men were not permitted to refuse the proposal."
