Hump day is Weds. which is traditionally the middle of the week. Businesses liken the week to a hill. The first day is the bottom of the hill as is last work day of the week... It is said that you struggle to get through the week (an "uphill battle" so to speak) and when Wed. comes you are looking at the down hill slope to the week. It's down hill from there making Friday come faster.

The above answers are correct--
"An English language idiom for Wednesday is "hump day", a reference to making it through to the middle of the work week as getting "over the hump". It is also unofficially referred to as "the peak of the week".

Hi there,
Hump Day refers to Wednesdays as it's the middle or "hump" of the week.
Cheers.

Kaldea said it best. Most people hate Monday, tolerate Tuesday, Begin to slow on Wednesday, but Thursday seems better, and Friday, Ah HA! Time to celebrate!
My theory is people don't get as much sleep when working, so the tiring is more than mere psychological, it has physical ties as well.

Wednesday or the middle of the working week. And Friday is 'Poet's Day' - American saying that means you try something different at work, and it's forgotten about by the start of the following working week, if you make a prat/idiot of yourself.
