Do you frequently use the term 'hump Wednesday'?
If so, in what instances?
Thank you.

Uh...the only meaning of "hump" that I know is f***. Never heard it with Wednesday.

Humpday is the middle of the week, wednesday. It means the week is half over or, you are in the middle of the "hump" meaning small hill or large bump. I think the expression has stayed since "hump" also refers to sex. "Yay, it's Humpday!"

Good afternoon.

Yes, I also recall calling Wednesday "humpday" with workmates in New York City, though when I think about it, we were all from the mid-west who used that term.

peace,
revel.

Also in the idea of walking or cycling up a hill, it's all easy and downhill after you get over the hump. The idea that after Wednesday, the weekend is in sight and it's easy coasting towards it.

You can hear a varient "it's a hump day," most Wednesdays on the Ken Radio show from co-host Andy Abramson.

I used to think they made it up because I hadn't heard it elsewhere but Revel seems to have.
