Does TGI Friday's really means Thank God It's Friday's & why ?

Question

Isn't Friday a working day in Europe & USA ? I thought Saturday & Sunday are the only weekd ends

Answer 1

The original T.G.I.F. meant "Thank God It's Friday"  without the "s". (meaning thank God for the end of the work week-for those who worked a Monday thru Friday job).  Later the restaurant adopted the phrase and incorporated it into their name and slogan.(Good Marketing: I think).

Answer 2

That depends on who you ask. For me, it means "Thank goodness it's Friday!"

Answer 3

As far as I know it does mean that. I first heard it off Nickolodeon, I think thats a short way of putting and to be truthful, everyone loves Friday's unless they have to work the next day

Answer 4

yes, because friday is the last day of the work days and start of relaxation and rest.

Answer 5

TGIF because it is the end of the 5 day work week.

Answer 6

People go out Friday's night, the most crowded night is Friday's night and Saturday's night, (as Saturday is also -no work day-, so they can keep up till very early morning on Friday's night , more fun for people  , more revenue for the club),,,Sunday's night is not that busy, as they have to work Monday,,,,(outside Egypt, people respect work and do not keep out till late every night and then sleep on their desks at work !!!! I really do not know why the Tuesday's day night is the most crowded out in night clubs in Egypt???)

Any way , it is like Thursday's night in Egypt when most people go out , as  can be up till late, because Friday's morning they do not work and can sleep till  noon

Answer 17

yes, and it's just a phrase.  the week is long, and Friday is the beginning of a weekend.

EDIT:  sigh....at 5 pm, when everyone gets out of work, THEN it's the start of the weekend, not the whole Friday....

it's a FIGURE OF SPEECH.  nothing to get all philosophical about...

Answer 20

yes, everyone loves the beginning of the weekends.
