Synthetic Friday

Originally coined on the Chicago Board Options Exchange, a Synthetic Friday occurs on a Thursday preceding a Friday in which the market is closed. Since there is no work on Friday, Thursday essentially becomes like a Friday. The word synthetic is used and derived from an option strategy called a Synthetic Long Stock, in which a trader buys a call and shorts a put, each with the same strike price (there are different variations of this strategy/trade.)

Market Maker A: "The market is closed tomorrow since it is Good Friday."
Market Maker B: "Nice, today's a Synthetic Friday."
Market Maker A: "Let's get bombed."

Friday Fever

To sluff off toward the end of the work week due to thoughts of the impending weekend. Often involves being unproductive or procrastination of tasks that could have been done Friday afternoon until Monday.

I really tried to finish up that report for Monday, but I came down with a bad case of Friday Fever and ended up Googling myself all afternoon.

No Pants Friday

An event that occurs every Friday, regardless of weather, where everyone is required to leave their pants at home for the day. The origins of No Pants Friday (NPF) can be traced back to a cold Canberra night (or two) at Nightsbridge, and first afflicted a group of hearty ANU students. The phenomenon spread like wildfire through the Chemistry department, eventually taking the Fenner school with it. With each Friday, the word spread and more and more men and women join in the NPF festivities.

Mel, it's No Pants Friday, get your pants off and get with the program.

Mad Friday

The last Friday before Christmas.

Should Christmas perchance fall on a Saturday, then Mad Friday will fall precisely one week before Christmas Eve.

Urban tradition dictates that the erstwhile person will inbible copious amounts of alcohol and fornicate (preferably in pub / nightclub toilets).

Mad Friday has, by Leeds City Council, in a futile attempt to attain Political Correctness, been renamed Feel Good Friday.

Footnote: Also known as 'Black Friday' in the barbarian lands of Scotland.

1st person: If I may trouble you, Sir, may I kindly enquire as to whether you will be attending the organ recital this Friday before Chrstmas?
