something for the weekend, Sir?

a term once used by barbers to politely ask a customer if they would like to buy a packet of condoms.
Years ago it was illegal for shops to trade on a Sunday and most shops only opened for a few hours on a Sat morning also most local chemists only opened Mon - Fri. Men would often visit the barbers on a Friday evening to tidy them selves up for a date or evening in with the wife etc. the barber would usually offer the condoms as an add on sale at the end, by saying either "Would Sir like anything for the weekend?" or "something for the weekend, Sir?"

rip it to the weekend

Originally: a term for removing NSFW pages from one's page-a-day calendar, until a less controversial page is visible. Pages are removed via ripping, and the tamer entries tend to fall on weekend dates.

Two minutes later: a directive to live it up weekend-style on a weekday.
I didn't want the VP to judge me for "boner shock" on my Urban Dictionary desk calendar, so I ripped it to the weekend. It was a good call; he really got a kick out of "productive procrastination".

It's after 10 on a Wednesday, and we've been drinking since 6. Should I really order another double IPA?
Umm, yes! Rip it to the weekend!
