That term always makes me giggle. It was only until college that I gleaned the actually reference; hump as in the middle of the week, the portion you have to get over before the weekend... Yeah, that was so not what I thought it was.
Anyway, got to thinking about the days of the week; you know, the ones you learned in elementary school. Monday-Marriage day, Tuesday-...... Come to think of it I only remember Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
What is wrong with schools that they are letting children construct some sort of malignant philosophy on life based on marriage, wedding, and flip up days?
Friday flip up day... You all remember it. The secretly flirtatious and naughtiest day of the week (that's if you understood that Wednesday didn't actually correspond to humping). Ooooh, don't wear your skirts ladies.
And then, there were the girls that seemed to always forget it was flip up day and would wear skirts... Wonder who those 3rd graders are now, wonder where they are...
Okay, so you know you totally did it once on purpose.
But, as a self respecting 3rd grade girl most often you had class enough to forgo the dress or skirt on Friday's.
What the F were Tuesday and Thursday?
Here is what Google turned up... not flipped...turned....
Monday- Marriage day
Tuesday- Toe day
Wednesday-Wedding day
Thursday- Throw Up day (promoting adolescent bulimia)
Friday - Flip Up day (or "Sluts in the Making" day)
I can see how Mondays might seem like a loveless, sexless commitment to the week. Apparently, on Tuesdays you are supposed to walk on your toes, no doubt in an effort to sneak away from said commitment. Wednesday...so wait... You are married first on Monday, but you don't actually celebrate till Wednesday?
And then inevitably regurgitate on Thursday. Yeah, wedding's make me sick too.
Finally, Flip up your skirt on Fridays because... Well, do I NEED to spell it out for you?
