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
Wednesday is called ‘hump day’ because it’s in the exact middle of the week, like the hump on a hill.
As to who first said it and when, I don’t know, I’ll look it up.
A good place to go for questions like these is wordorigins.org.
