Me and a friend have come up with a new nickname for Wednesday which is usually referred to as Hump Day. I used Hump Day in a greeting today and then just afterwards I got an email that was this:
Subject: H.D.I.A.S.N.
Hump Day Is A Stupid Nickname
I immediately felt the same way. Why did I say Happy Hump Day! That's so stupid. Why do have to use those words to describe one of the most diabolical of all the days of the week. Equal distant from Monday and Friday. A strange limbo day that seems to leave us hanging there waiting to get closer to the much loved weekend and further from the much revered Monday.
The emails went back and forth. Other nicknames were thrown out there: Slope Day, Ditch Day, Halfway up the Mountain Day, Play Day, and then Whack Day.
Once Whack Day was mentioned it was all over. We had found a new nickname for Wednesday. It truly feels like Whack Day. I hope that now we can all celebrate together and begin using the term Whack Day with our friends and enemies in describing Wednesday. Maybe hip hop Dj's will start spinning Whack Day mixes, advertisers will start using it: "Get whacked on Whack Day at Godfather's Pizza with two for one pizza deals" and our whole country can begin to truly embrace it's Whackness. . .
