business casual friday

In formal business environments, employees are allowed to wear business casual clothes instead of suits on this last day of the work week. Sometimes given a theme, it is intended to alleviate stress and bolster employee morale.

In smaller companies where business casual is worn every day, this day should be called just "Casual Friday" when lower-quality clothes are allowed.

When in doubt, it is better to overdress than to wear clothes too casual, so as not to be reprimanded by the suits.

formal > business formal > business casual > casual

Business casual: Sweater, collar without a necktie, polo, vendor swag, blouse, black/brown/navy/gray trousers, pressed khakis.

Casual: Dockers, denim jeans, shorts, t-shirts, linen.

social

Among college drinkers, if a person at a party announces a "Social!", it is a command that everyone within earshot take a large drink of alcohol in unison, to consume the drinks quickly and get the crowd as drunk as possible. Seasoned partiers will yell "Social!" in return to help announce and time the act.

"I just turned 20 and I have a big test on Monday -- we are gonna get so fucking fucked up tonight. Social!"
(Crowd screams "Social!" and goes quiet as dozens of people chug their beverages.)
