Still waiting for the Americans to pick up the speed hump and run with it, so to speak ...


Well If I must...

speed hump?!?! Seriously?!? The last thing I want out of a hump is speed. Unless it's a lunchtime quickie.
...well there are a lot of connotations that come to my mind with that word. But why a hump?
Do you call Wednesday "hump day" too?

A sleeping policeman and a speed hump (or bump) are bumps laid across a roadway to keep motorists from driving too fast.
Why is Wednesday hump day?

I wondered about that one myself , limey . Could it be something to do with the fact that Wednesday lies in the middle of the working week , in the same way that the sleeping policeman lies across the road ? Both Wednesday and the speed-bump involve the concept of division .

i hate wednesday reffered to as hump day. but its meant to be the hill you have to get over like thinking "dammit its only wednesday" but thursday you think "tomorrow is friday!"

I have to go now , and I shall not be coming back . I enjoyed these two days talking with you all immensely . You are kind , and full of humour and complexity . Lovely people .
I now have to think about my work . This pause has helped me to focus my mind . It was not a pause for you , because I have written about seventy messages in 48 hours , but it was a pause to me . Thank you for putting up with me .

All the best to you all , and thank you once again

I hate that Wednesday is referred to as hump day as well. 1) it's just dumb, 2) it's confusing, 3) it's a let down. But you were right. It just refers to the fact that Wed. is the middle of the week. The top of the hump. The rest is all on the backside.
When I was a kid tho, I actually thought that maybe it meant that people that used that expression "humped" on Wed. What did I know? I was a kid! Anyways, I still don't like it. It's just Wednesday! THERE'S NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT WEDNESDAY!
