I learned some new slang today that amused me.

Satur-night= Saturday

Sun-night = Sunday

Mon-night =Monday

Tue-night =Tuesday

Wed-night =Wednesday

Thur-night =Thursday

Fri-night =Friday

I just thought I would pass it on.

i have never heard of that slang before (what source did you use?),
but when many Americans write the day of the week, we often use the following...

sun = sunday
mon=monday
tues=tues
wed=wednesday
thurs=thursday
fri=friday
sat=saturday
sunday=sunday

Thanks.

But that is not slang. It is simply abbreviations that are used all over the world. LOL

I think you should write:
Satur night= Saturday night

Saturnight;satur-night;satur night

I don't think it's a slang either.
Maybe it's just made up by some people who are lasy as a experimental word. Laughing
