What is hump day?

Hump day is a term often used to refer to Wednesday, which is typically the middle day of the work week. The term comes from the idea that once you get past Wednesday, you are "over the hump" and closer to the weekend. It is a common expression used to celebrate making it halfway through the week and to signify that the weekend is near. Some people may use the term to boost morale or motivate themselves and others to push through the rest of the work week.
