Some diets have “cheat days” (such as a Friday or a birthday) where the dieter is allowed to go off the diet for that day. A joke is that some “dieters” take cheat years. “Taking a cheat year from my diet” was posted on Twitter on June 4, 2010. “2011 has been ‘cheat year’ on my diet” was posted on Twitter on August 20, 2011.
