*IMO*: The problem with that latter example is just (what I see as) some unfortunate choices for naming and such. Alter it like this: now() - days(2) And I think that's no longer overly verbose, has great clarity, and does so without feeling too cute or magical. Of course, like I said before, I could live with 2.days.ago, but it's not really what I'd prefer.
