Saturday night

Week's social peak

Saturday night is the evening between the workweek and the day of rest, traditionally the prime time for social activity—going out, partying, dating.

The phrase carries connotations of release and indulgence: What are you doing Saturday night?

A Saturday night special is a cheap handgun, associated with impulsive crime.

Saturday Night Live established the slot's cultural significance.
