humpday
Middle of workweek
Humpday is informal slang for Wednesday—the middle of the traditional Monday-through-Friday work week.
The metaphor treats the week as a hill: once you're over the hump of Wednesday, the weekend is in sight.
Happy humpday, everyone!
The term is workplace casual, often appearing in social media posts celebrating midweek survival.
