Quick one: Would (for example) the phrase "Bi-Monthly" imply an occurrence twice per month or once every two months?

Sweet Lord I just googled it (don't know why I didn't think of that first..!)

It can mean either one!
There's a nice bit of confusion then.

I can mean either - you will either need to infer from context or clarify with the person who said/wrote it.

Not one of the better terms in the English language!
