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.

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.

moonstrucksoul

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 .

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

FaderMonkey

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.

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.

ratbastid

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...

greytone

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

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! Doesn't matter if you like it or not either, just if you've heard of it or not.

Thanks, this is awesome!

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!

Peetster

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

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

Beefimator

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

Angel

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 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
