Hump Day

I've always been uncomfortable with "hump day" as a phrase. I learned it when I was little, and no doubt I was suspicious of the person who told me it was okay. There was a troublemaker in my grade school - who shall remain nameless, but whose initials were Jon Kramer - who made me say "sugar, honey, ice tea" before he told me what exactly it meant. Then he acted like I'd transgressed. Which, of course, I had.

Suffice it to say, I wasn't very trusting after that. And hump day? Who are we kidding? I was embarrassed when the morning DJs would just yell it out, and there I was eating breakfast with MY PARENTS. It was unacceptable then and it's unacceptable now.

And while we're on any use of HUMP that isn't referring to sex, who is the genius who came up with speed humps? I'd like to call for a moratorium on all alternate uses of HUMP. Who's with me?
