Out of all of the days of the week, only one is so bleak, so black of heart, so utterly devoid of any kind of hope, that it gets its own nickname. That day is Wednesday, and that cursed, cursed nickname is, of course, "Hump Day." There are a lot of problems with "Hump Day": It's gross to say, awkward to hear, and gives your most irritating coworkers the extra motivation that they need to send you some kind of e-card with a sassy camel on it. It's trouble.
But the worst of Hump Day's offenses might be its promise of false hope. There's something so perky about the idea of a "hump day"— a perkiness that is inevitably crushed by the reality of Wednesday, a day that features no humpings of any variety. The only thing that Wednesday reliably features is you, muttering "Is it really only Wednesday?" to several different people, in hopes that one of them will eventually tell you it's actually Friday. Calling Wednesday "Hump Day" is like one of those self-improvement exercises where you smile into a mirror and it's supposed to make you feel happier, but instead, makes you cancel all your evening plans and start looking into graduate school programs in France.
You deserve better than all this false hope, and all these humpings that never seem to materialize. Why not give Wednesday a nickname that is not only truer to the essence of the day, but maybe even helps you get through it? Because even a series of low-pitched, rhythmic, monosyllabic grunts would still be a better nickname than "Hump Day." Here are seven new nicknames for everyone's favorite (not) day.
Far across the world, right this very second, there are people who have already dealt with Wednesday, and are now rolling into the sweet relief of Thursday. Think about those people hard enough, and their carefree Thursday lives, and it's almost like you're there. You've journeyed through space and time, and have skipped Wednesday entirely, joining them on the gleaming, joyful shores of Thursday.
