News readers on the morning news on KNBC-4 Los Angeles frequently refer to Wednesday as “Humpday”. That is, you’re over the hump and it’s downhill to the weekend. I wonder how far this has spread? I first heard “Humpday” back in the early-'80s on the now-long-defunct KMET. They had names for each weekday: Humday Monday, Titillating Tuesday, Humpday, Champaign Thursday (that’s when they were paid) and Finally Friday. It just seems strange to hear this “term from the dead” being used. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/humpday/94904)._
