  2. He was kind enough to wake me up so I wouldn't be late for work.

every single day

They made some delicious meals every single day, like octopus, tripe, and rabbit.

When something happens 'every single day,' it happens consecutively and doesn't miss any days.  It is the same as 'every day,' but we add the word 'single for emphasis. Notice the following:

  1. I think you get taller every single day.
  2. When I lived near the beach, I went swimming every single day.

If something is 'exotic,' it is different from what you are used to.  Notice the following:

  1. Everything on the menu looks a little too exotic for me right now.  I need something normal.
  2. We tried many new exotic fruits when we were on vacation.
