n. Oxymoronicly named period alluding to the daylight hours prior to Christmas Eve. Quite an acceptable coinage despite the objections of some opinionated pedants. An alternate etymology comes from the traditions of the Armenian Orthodox church which speak of the Bethlehem innkeeper's wife, Evangelina, who convinced her husband to allow Mary to give birth in their stable. A feast day in her honour was declared on the day preceding Christmas. Christmas Eve Day, a time for quiet contemplation and fasting, is still celebrated in Asia Minor and much of Central Alberta.

Get the Christmas Eve Day mug.A quick and curt way to end a conversation, putting a thin polite spin on the rude abruptness.
Most uses of this phrase are referencing actor Gene Wilder's portrayal of Willy Wonka in the 1971 movie "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory," where Wonka informs Charlie he has lost the contest because he drank the burp soda, a breach in the contract he signed. "You lose! Good day, SIR!" Wonka screams at Charlie before turning back to his desk.
Linking to an animated gif of the scene with the audio intact is a popular way to assert you are done with an argument on the internet.

Get the Seven day weekends mug.Ale Bribes Day is the day after Valentines Day and is celebrated annually on the 15th of February. Ale Bribes Day was founded as a Chicago holiday of good cheer, drinking and general debauchery. Many of those who participate in the holiday spend the day at bars with an extensive Ale selection and attempt to bribe friends and strangers with Ale. The day often turns into a competition among friends to see who can bribe the most out of a stranger with their Ale of choice.
Notable Event: Ale Bribes Day 1985 - It is suspected that an unknown Chicagoan was able to bribe the entire 1985 Chicago Honey Bears team with one Schlitz. However, the event was followed with much controversy as Schlitz is in fact a lager and not an ale. This event was notable as some believe the bribe led to the creation of the Chicago Bears' Super Bowl Shuffle.
