Why do we call today is " Hump Day"?
"Hump day” is a tradition in American English. It refers to the idea that a week especially a work week is like a hill/Mountain. Monday and Tuesdays are days when you climb up, since they are the beginning or start of your work week. At the end of Wednesday, you’ve reached the pinnacle of the week, and your work on Thursday and Friday represents climbing down toward the weekend.
Nevertheless, for many working people, the arrival of hump day is one for cheering, and whether that day is windy or gray, it still means that Friday is close at hand!
