Be punk. Ram your car into an ATM.

That's how every Fridag is for me. MB is deserted when it's Friday evening/night where I am. If I'm not going places on a Friday (not usually anyway), so I'm just forever alone on a semi-deserted MB instead, listening to some good tunes.

The original Viking spelling?

I somehow typed a hybrid abomination.

English = Friday
Danish = Fredag

Fredag means Freja's day. Fre as in short for Freja, which is this norse goddess:

Friday is not far from that, but some of the other days must mean something else in English. Wednesday, for example. "Wednes"? What the hell does that mean? In Danish, that day is "Onsdag", which is short for "Odin's day".

I guess in old english Odin was known as Wodan and in German it was Wodanaz.

Oh that's interesting. I always assumed most of the English day names meant something completely different.

EDIT: I just checked Saturday out of curiousity, and that one is completely different between Danish and English.

English = Comes from the roman/latin name "Diēs Sātūrnī" which means "Saturn's day"
Danish = A corruption of the ancient nordic spelling "laugardagr" which meant "washing day". So I guess I'm supposed to do my laundry tomorrow.

I always hoped it came from a love of goth girls.

I just ate a hamburger so I told her I feel dead inside.




^Is it just me or was that line a bit Neapolitan-esque?

We also got Tuesday from Tiw or Tyr, Thursday from Thor, and Friday from Frig (who is often conflated with Freya). No idea why this is.
