Friday

Friday is the day of the week between Thursday and Saturday. Its name is derived from the germanic goddess Frigg. In most areas with a five-day working week, Friday is the last workday before the weekend and is therefore viewed as a cause for celebration or relief, leading to the expression TGIF, an acronym for Thank God It's Friday. (That phrase was popularized by a movie during the 1970s.) Friday is also the inspiration for the restaurant, aptly named, T.G.I. Friday's.

• In the popular rhyme, "Friday's Child is loving and giving".\n*In Islam, Friday is the day of public worship in mosques.\n*The Jewish Sabbath begins at sunset on Friday and runs until sunset on Saturday.\n*Friday was the name of a cannibal, who became the servant of Robinson Crusoe.\n*Cadbury promoted a chocolate bar with the slogan Thank Crunchie it's Friday.\n*Following on from "TGI Friday", maverick British television host Chris Evans created the programme TFI Friday, the initials supposedly standing for "Thank Four It's" (Four being a reference to Channel 4, the television station) - any other meaning for the F was a matter for the viewer's own imagination.
