Mondays
Post-weekend work days
Mondays is the plural of Monday, the day that begins the standard work or school week in most Western countries.
It appears in contexts where multiple instances of the day are referenced: I have meetings every Monday becomes Mondays are for meetings.
The word carries strong cultural connotations of reluctance and fatigue, as it marks the end of weekend leisure: I hate Mondays.
Someone with a case of the Mondays is sluggish or grumpy at the start of the work week.
