Things that pop into your mind...

[silverfox]

Just watching Homes Under the Hammer on the telly and the auctioneer said:

"Going once...going twice...going..."

At this point the word thrice popped into my mind but the auctioneer said "...going for the third time."

I thought he should have said thrice. I like the word thrice. Bit old fashioned but it's nice.

I always think of the word thrice when I hear Lionel Richie singing three times a lady.

[DJKillaQueen]

Hmm thrice woulda ruined that song for sure.....and wouldn't have sounded right coming from the lips of an American. Now if Sir John Geilgud had sung the song, then just maybe.......

[Ant]

It wouldn't have scanned in three times a lady.

But yes, I very much approve of thrice in general.

[HonaloochieB]

And 'in a trice' also rolls off the tongue in a very satisfying fashion.

Go on try it.

Whenever I hear 'three times a lady' I always think of cloning. Was Lionel Ritchie ahead of his time?
