Russian term or phrase: Идиомы с 10-ым сентября
Вот отрывок из текста, в котором делается ссылка на идиому, в которой должен фигурировать день - 10-е сентября.

Ничего не приходит в голову и ничего подобного не могу найти по Интернету. Возможно кто-то слышал что-то подобное в одной из англоговорящих стран? Буду благодарна за любые варианты. Спасибо!

"А как кратко назвать совершенно обычный, будний день, в который не произошло ничего примечательного? По-английски он будет называться ***10-е сентября***".

agree  Rachel Douglas: Just "an ordinary day." If you include the date "September 10," there's no way for it not to be an allusion to September 11. There are lots of blogs on "the last ordinary day."

Just a day in September


Explanation:
По-английски выражение "September 10th" имеет совсем не то значение. Это не просто обычный, будничный день, а день, который вроде бы не предвещает ничего страшного, но на самом деле последний из спокойных, безмятежных дней, потому что за ним, как гром среди ясного неба, последует несчастье. Это "последний день спокойствия".

По-русски аналог – это, пожалуй, 21 июня (последний мирный день перед Великой Отечественной войной).
