ok well I never thought about it that way and well i guess if that is the only day that you have to do that deed then well ok but I would not say that to too many people then they would know your business

o 7 days rest you're not a friend.
what is this.
I work five days a week and rest two days Saturday and Sunday.
how unfortunate that not relax yet clear and take good money.
while we in Bulgaria are poorly paid only 150 euros.

I think it means it is the middle of the week the highest point during the week and it should be all down hill from there, or clear sailing for the rest of the week.

Yes, it has a few meanings. But your right. You have the main meaning. Have a super Sunday.

Didn't it originate from the USA, as I have never come across this saying in the UK, the first time I came across it was through using Traffic Exchanges and they had a hump day promo on a Wednesday, be interested in what others have to say or the true meaning and where it derived from.

It means that you are going over the hill, that is you are halfway to the end of the week. It is exactly right in the middle of the week.

Well, it could be a day for camels to celebrate or...
it could be a day to be thankful for speed bumps, sometimes called "hump"s or...
it could mean something quite rude.

hi maria up til a few years ago hump meant something realy different and happy hump day would have been sort of disgusting to hear but now my best friend taught me the present meaning its the hump of the workweek and hopefully the next two days will be even lesser as then the weekend off looms close. em]happy[/em]

Yes hump day is the middle of the work week, as many people have already told you. After hump day, it's all downhill to the weekend. In this case, down hill means easier going, not a reference to one getting older.

Johning Carson got laughed at for using that word even when it didn't mean what the audience was thinking of. I try not to use the word anymore like many others we have had to give up.

If you were to make a graph, you would put Monday as 1, Tuesday as 2, Wednesday as 3, Thursday down to 2, and Friday to 1.
With this graph you would see a hump if you connected these dots. ^
With Wednesday on top of the graph, it signified the top therefore nicknamed "hump day". This became a common name for the day, indicating the middle of the work week.
I do not know of any "bad" meanings to this expression.
