User:Fruesday/Fruesday

Fruesday is a portemanteau of Friday and Tuesday, signifying a Tuesday before a scheduled break.

Etymology
The amalgamation of various schedules of Culpeper County Public Schools, Rappahannock County Public Schools, and Fauquier County Public Schools] results in a nonstandard schedule at Mountain Vista Governor's School. Frequently, the Tuesday directly before Thanksgiving break is the last day of the school week, resulting in student behavior that resembles a Friday.

Usage
Fruesday is a term that should only be applied to certain situations.

Proper Usage
Properly, Fruesday can only be applied to Tuesday before a scheduled break, traditionally the one before a Thanksgiving Break, but sometimes the one before winter break.

Improper Usage
Fruesday is not a term that can be applied retroactively. For example, if students attended school for Monday and Tuesday before the rest of the week was canceled for snow, flooding, or earthquakes, the Tuesday before the cancellations could not be called a Fruesday, because the students did not have the expectation of the weekend.
