i always wondered.
Why is wednesday hump day and not, say, thursday?
What does it mean?
Who said this?
Where was it first recorded?
-ZeN, waiting for wednesday
I can’t tell you coined the phrase, but Wednesday is “hump day” because it is the middle day of a typical 5 day work week.

Wednesday is No-Pants Wonderday.
Or is it Thursday…

Or whip 'em out Wednesday.
I remember when my gramma told me Wednesday was hump-day. I was about 12 and I just stared at her in shock. See, she’d always talk about Saturday being laundry-day, Monday was grocery-day and so on. So when she said that, I couldn’t believe my ears. She actually had a day designated just for humping? My poor little mind couldn’t handle that.
Is that the same as free-bagging?

Wednesday is “Hawaiian Shirt Day”. Oh, wait. . . That’s Friday. So anyone with a Hawaiian Shirt can go ahead and wear theirs on Friday. [sub]After they get their TPS reports done, of course[/sub]
Not to be confused with Alternate Super Tuesdays, nor the Quarterly Magical Mondays following the Alternate Super Tuesdays on odd numbered leap years.

It’s all based on the tides and the moon.
Free-lancers…Hah!
Free Bird In The Hand!
Free Zing!
Free Huey! What? Oh, well, never mind.
I heard this expression in Georgia in 1983
