Hm, so it’s hump day right? I wonder exactly what hump day means. People say it all the time, like “oh, it’s hump day”. Does it really just mean that it’s halfway through the standard work week? Or that we’re all supposed to hump like bunnies?
Wikipedia says: “An English language idiom for Wednesday is “hump day”, a reference to making it through to the middle of the work week as getting “over the hump”, as well as a possible double entendre. It is also unofficially (and with some irony) referred to as “the peak of the week”. 
Days of the Week says: “Wednesday is often referred to as “hump day” because of its position as the middle day of the work week. If the work week were a hill. Then Wednesday would be the crest. It is all down hill from there. (Whether the down hill ride is a coast or a descent into a swamp is left to the individual.)”
Urban Dictionary says: “Wednesday, or the hump of the week
The absolute BEST day of the week, the day of maximum hope that maybe, you might make it out of this week alive. A particularly good hump day can last you the rest of the week, and by Doomday morning (Monday) you survive by anticipating hump day. Nothing goes wrong on hump day.”
I like the Urban Dictionary definition best.
