What would you call the eighth day of the week?

[purplepoppy]

The 7 day week was introduced to the west by Rome in AD 321, but before that they had 8 days.
The Burmese week is composed by eight days.
The welsh word for week, wythnos means 8 nights (wyth 8 nos night)

I think it makes more sense to have an 8 day week because it's easier to divide up. Half a week 4 days not 3.5 days. Besides you all complain there's never enough days in the week.

Therefore from next week I declare there will be 8 days in a week and just to be nice I'm letting you name the eighth day, so what's it going to be?

Let's called it MasterDay, and let our master do whatever he likes, like cook for him and clean for him, not speak, and stay on our knees for more efficient oral sex.

[Jennz6]

@bean2k22 I do that now 💃

[AviatorTom]

I nominate the 8th Day be called "Purpuraday", that's Latin for Purple in honour of you-know-who.

[AviatorTom]

Thanks for the mho

[SnowedIn]

It's probably an extra Monday for work to attack us.

Just kidding... that was fascinating about the 8th day in the past.

[WindAtMyBack]

Octday?

So if "oct" is a prefix for 8, then why is October the 10th month?

[DJB72]

It was the eighth month of the Julian calendar wasn't it? The Gregorian calendar we use today wasn't used until 1582

[WindAtMyBack]

@DJB72

October was actually the 11th month in the Julian Calendar. The word probably came from some other calendar.

[DJB72]

It must be pre-Julian then from when the years were counted starting in spring so harvest would be 8 months later I guess.

[purplepoppy]

It's from the romulan calendar used by the Romans before they inserted a few extra months

[Fuentes]

Would be cool instead of 3 days off I will start to get 4 days off lol

I'd call it slow-day

[snackthatsmilesback]

I'd call it Weekday. Just to fuck with people.

[Guy13]

I would call it the First Day of the week.

[MCheetah]

Starday? Urthday (Earth day)? Marsday?

[Jennz6]

I didn’t know that

[Smoothing]

Is that key on your knexk for hus chastity belt? You lock it before he leaves the house so that he doesn't mess about? Lol

[Jennz6]

I love the way people are optimists. So many people, myself included, assumed it would be an extra weekend day, not an extra work day!
