hump days

Middle weekday stretches

Hump days is the plural of hump day, which refers to Wednesday—the middle of the standard Monday-through-Friday workweek.

The metaphor imagines the week as a hill: once you get over the hump, you're coasting downhill toward the weekend.

We made it past hump day—almost there.
