Help settling a silly debate
 

All righty folks, here's the deal. For months now i've been trying to explain to Ace_O_Spades (yes you *glare*) that the expression: "Wednesday is hump day" is a legitimate Canadian/North American idiomatic phrase. It may be a little old, or only exclusive to Canada, but nonetheless IT IS REAL!

*again glares at Ace at his refusal to acknowledge a real expression*

Seeing as how he won't believe me in saying that i didn't make it up, nor does it stand for anything kinky, i decided to post it up here to see what our peanut gallery has to say.

Yep. Wednesday.

It is Hump Day because it is in the middle of the week. After Wednesday its all down hill from there to the weekend. I do however feel that we should all start a grassroots movement make it stand for something kinky.:D

I used to work with a guy who referred to it as Hump Day, because it was the middle of the week, and cuz it was the one day of the week that his wife and him got it on, planned.

My girlfriend refers to it as hump day.

I like that :crazy:.

Which kind of defeats your not kinky point, but on your side I'm not canadian.

I guess I'm out of the loop. I've never heard of it.

Has been and always will be Hump Day.

It pisses me off because it doesn't fit my schedule as middle of the week, but it is a common expression.

excuse me, but I resent and AM offended by this expression.
I think it shows a real lack of consideration for us...how would you put it...LESS ERECT.

~mojoedit~ummmm....nevermind.

Legitimate expression...and well I get Wednesday's off from work, so it's a great day :)

Yup . . . . by Wednesday, you're "over the hump" and on the downhill ride to the weekend.

Yes, though I hadn't heard it until earlier this year.

Definitely. Get past Wednesday, and you're "over the hump".

Though I always thought it was a little silly, since more people have sex on the weekends...

Seeing how Tuesday is my day off, I think of Thursday as my hump day.

What the hell?! I never heard of it either! Man, you people are crazy!

Guess I better get it on with the group!

I first heard that when I first moved to Denver. Now all the radio personalities use it here.

I've heard it. Personally I think it sounds stupid, but I've heard it.

i've never heard of it, but it doesn't hurt to know.

I had never of heard of it before. My life is now complete.

Tons of potential. :thumbsup: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Been using/hearing it all my life. (well since Jr. High anyways)
Humpday = Wednesday for many years now.

yeah- ever since Jr. high, a term in common use

I have never heard that expression from any friends from the US or Canada.

makes sense, but I don't really care for the word "hump".

its not an actual expression

ACE!!!! @#$%#$% You are wrong, just admit it and move on, the debate is over.

well folks it's not about hump as in humping another person, c'mon now, it's hump as in middle of the week, like a hill you've got to climb... hurrah! :D Doesn't matter if you like it or not either, just if you've heard of it or not.

Thanks, this is awesome! :)

Heard it most of my life.

*nods* It seems like every one of my junior high teachers used the term.

It's only dirty if you are so inclined, but it has been around along time.

So what did you bet? :D

yep I've heard it for years.. and I'm in texas...

I've heard it before.. and it also reminded me of this little chant that pissed (drunk) bastards usually sing repeatedly at the top of their lungs (yeah.. I've done it too)...

Leader: Monday's a working day
All: Monday's a working day
Leader: Tuesday's a drinking day
All: Tuesday's a drinking day
... and so on w/ the following days:....
Wednesday's a smoking day
Thursday's an Ahhh day
Friday's a fucking day
Saturday's a footy day
Sunday's a holy day

Leader: Is everybody happy?
All: You bet your ass we are!

The urban dictionary agrees.

hmm... my girl always refers to wednesday as humpday... I liked it but thought that was just a figment of her dirty mind.
Actually I never even concidered any other meaning than sexual :D
A dirty mind is a joy forever

Climbing the hump to Wednesday, going downhill to the weekend after you're over the hump.

Yup. Its a real thing. After Wednesday, you should be in cruise control the rest ot the week. NICE

Ha ha ha! You made me laugh. Stubborn little shit aren't you?

You are going to have to give in on this one Ace, fallenangel is correct. I am in the western part of the US and I have heard and used this term for many years. I know a lot of people throughout the states who use it as well. It isn't used as frequently as it used to be, but I do still hear it.

I am curious like Lebell is....what did ya bet??? ;)

I'm from the south and it's used quite often. "welp, today's hump day. two more days and the weekend is here."

frequent useage.

yup. heard of hump day first like 20-25 yrs ago.

TGIF : thank god it's friday

SHIT : sure happy it's thursday
<small>although i don't get why anyone would be thrilled about a thursday... *shrugs*</small>

/me *does a little victory dance*


Angel - We didn't bet anything... just the satisfaction of knowing how right i am and how wrong he is after a good year of debating. :D

I always thought Tuesday was the hump day, you're in sight of the weekend again by Wednesday and I dunno about where you live, but Wednesday has always been a reasonable night out on the razzle dazzle wherever I've laid my hat.

Tuesdays.

Grrr.

Exactly. But, "hump day" sounds far more fun
