'yesterday night'
when someone says yesterday night, does it mean last night or 2 nights ago? I say it means last night but someone else is telling me it means 2 nights ago and I think they're on crack.

I've never heard anyone say "yesterday night". But assuming they did, I can't conceive of it meaning anything other than "last night". Yesterday is the day before today, so yesterday night should be the night of that day.
Along similar lines though, "this" and "next" confuse me sometimes. If it's say, Tuesday, and someone says "let's do something this Thursday", to me that means two days from now. But if they say "let's do something next Thursday", to me that's always meant a week and two days from now, the Thursday after "this" Thursday. But I get the impression that a lot of people don't share that interpretation.
