Happy hump day

[SecretKeeper1]

AIBU to completely loathe the phrase “hump day”? A local Fb news page announces it every frickin week without fail, and now my most favourite cafe has said it two weeks running. Happy hump day, look at our delicious cakes. I will be boycotting them until they stop it.

AIBU or is it a bit naff?

It's in the same category as Holibobs

It’s completely naff - but I don’t think it’s meant to be taken too seriously

Bleurgh, horrible, loathsome phrase.

I hate it.
An American Facebook friend announces it too, on a weekly basis, and I cringe every time I see it.

Wtf is hump day?
Shagging?

Its wednesday, when you get over the 'hump' of the week and head towards the weekend.

For those that get it once a week I guess

😂😂😂😂 that was my first thought too initially but then I learned that wednesday is not shag day but the hump you get over to get to the good part of the week, closer to the weekend.

I'm American. Granted I've lived in the UK longer than in my own native country. But is Hump Day like Shag Day? Is this a thing? Or is it like hump as in a hurdle you have to jump... a midweek hurdle?
Whatever! It sounds so dumb!

Ah labellina you got there before me! And you actually knew the answer. I am impressed! Happy Hump Day to you.

Oh I’m sad now - I thought you were wishing us a happy hump day!

Happy hump day to you too dear @TheVanguardSix

Agree.

Meh - I quite like it - it reminds me of Chris Evans, who I quite like.

Don’t worry, it’s below treason and genocide on my things I hate list

It belongs in the sea, along with the word ‘naff’

In Germany it's "Bergfest" which is what you celebrate when you get to the top of a mountain or something. All downhill to the weekend from here.

I don't mind "hump day" because i think of hump-backed bridges. It's not a word that really features in my vocabulary for anything else

I couldn’t think of a better word for naff, than naff. Is there a less naff way of saying naff?

@Brefugee I much prefer Bergfest. The Germans have a proper word for everything!

It's bad for me because when I hear humping I think shagging

It's awful.

The Germans have a proper word for everything!

fresh from a twitter thread that said exactly the same thing (and as i always say: if there isn't a word, it isn't a thing)

[twitter thread is talking about the German word for what's going on in the UK with fuel: Hamstertanken - where "tanken" = to fill up]
