I was on a dial-up connection when Friday started going round, and the thing I remember is waiting for it to load, knowing it would be worth it, and being right. That combination has not happened to me since.
Best short gloss I have heard for Friday: the thing everyone knew about for about eighteen months and then agreed, without discussing it, not to bring up again.
Filed under Undead, which is right, but I want it on record that the 10 years between 2011 and 2021 were a real death. People mourned it. The revival does not un-mourn it.
The tell with Friday is who is saying it. In 2011 it marked you as early. By 2011 it marked you as present. After that it marked you as someone who had not checked recently.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
