wednesday is known informally as hump day. a hump can be like a little hill. it’s a metaphor for the middle of the week. after wednesday, the majority of the week is over i.e. we are over the hump. next weekend is now closer than last weekend.

there are many, many memes celebrating and joking about hump day.
camels’ humps make them obvious icons for hump day
because camels have humps (the big curves on their backs) they are the most common animal associated with hump day. this geico commercial is largely responsible for the popularity of wednesday’s nickname
but hump day memes are not limited to camels
do dogs, cats and seals really know it’s wednesday?
hump used as a verb means have sex. many memes exploit the double meaning
and the lady in this on-line greeting card believes that humping is just one type of sex. she prefers a different, more aggressive type
fuck is used two different ways here. fuck humpday! means she is not a fan of this concept, she doesn’t like it. fuck me so hard is the original idea of fuck ==>sex. her comment implies that humping is a less physical, less serious form of sexual intercourse.
finally, not everyone is a fan of the expression…
the youtube short at the top of the post is inspired by wednesday addams and this nursery rhyme (kids’ poem)…
monday’s child is fair of face,
tuesday’s child is full of grace.
wednesday’s child is full of woe,
thursday’s child has far to go.
friday’s child is loving and giving,
saturday’s child works hard for a living.
but the child that is born on sabbath day,
is bonny and blithe, good and gay
in addition to woe and nursery rhyme, the short contains definitions for the following words and phrases: unique, be born, whoa!, be used to, macabre, appeal, actually and silly.
