Hi. Would you please help me with this? What is meant by "this week of all weeks" in the following sentence?

 "Yes, but I couldn't afford it this week of all weeks." I'm confused a little. I could not find it anywhere.

It means something like, "this week is the worst week that this could have happened in". or "of any week, this is the most inconvenient or worst one for this to happen in". Hope this helps.

Hi,

Would you please help me with this? What is meant by "this week of all weeks" in the following sentence? It means out of all the weeks  (in the year), this one week is very special in some way.

"Yes, but I couldn't afford it this week of all weeks." I'm confused a little. I could not find it anywhere.

In this context, it means I couldn't afford it this week in particular, because I am particularly short of money this week.

Best wishes, Clive
