A black-out day can have two different meanings:
1) a day for getting completely drunk 2) a day of no power. A black-out date can mean a sexual dating game in which you don't even know in advance whom you are dating. And it could also be a date on which a man has no "power".  If Enigma says "my black-out dates are everyday except tomorrow heheh", what do you think he probably means?

根據Lynn所列舉的第6項: a time during which a special commercial offer (as of tickets) is not valid -- usually used attributively <blackout dates> 使我想起了某些貴賓卡的優惠:「憑本卡來店用餐五折, 但聖誕夜、國農曆除夕、母親節及中西情人節除外.」 其中所列的除外日子都叫作black-out date吧? Quote:
Yup, I presume that black-out date is equivalent to blind date. That's like during a blackout (during power failure or when the light is turned off), everyone seeks for his/her own sexual partner by luck.  Please correct me if I am wrong.

通常在機位爆滿的高峰期, 例如聖誕節新年假期前後、放暑假前或收假前.
