Friday
Week's final workday
Friday is the day of the week between Thursday and Saturday, the fifth day in systems that start weeks on Monday, the sixth in those starting on Sunday.
In Western work culture, Friday marks the end of the standard workweek: Thank God it's Friday.
Friday carries associations with release and celebration—Friday night suggests social plans, and casual Friday relaxes workplace dress codes.
