A longstanding and historical tradition at Washington College, in which students get naked and run around on the green while hammered. It occurs every year on a weekend near the 1st of May.
Legend goes that the first May Day was held by a professor in the 60's, along with several of his students.

"I barely remember May Day. All I know is that I woke up the next day in someone else's room with a bite mark on my arm and a gash on my butt. I'm still not sure who bit me."

A day made in honor of May, though this day can fall on any day of the year it is to honor, admire, appreciate, and celebrate May. This day usually falls on everyday of the year for Tlyer, as he always honors, admires, appreciates and celebrates May.
(Has absolutely nothing to do with the month of the same name.)

The first definition is all wrong. May Day (or Mayday) is actually an anarchist and labor holiday, the true labor day, and has nothing to do with state communism.
The story of May Day:
In early May of 1886, anarchist and labor activists rioted in Haymarket Square in Chicago in the name of winning an eight-hour workday. During that time, most capitalist bosses required their workers to work for 14 hours a day with little breaks or days off. During the riot, someone threw a bomb. Five anarchists were accused of bomb-throwing or a conspiracy to do such and were tried, later convicted, and hanged. May Day became a day to remember their sacrifice as well as the sacrifices of all laborers who must work under the conditions of wage slavery.

During May Day, the anarchists, labor unionists, and immigrant groups held a large rally in the middle of the city to show solidarity.

A Washington College tradition, starting back in the 1960's, in which people get naked and dance around a flagpole on the campus green. If that wasn't enough, think about the hundreds of people who stare and watch like perverts.
I saw Joe Blow taking a piss infront of a PS officer on May Day!
Why are there always more guys naked than girls on May Day?

What you say when you see a scary-looking African-American female, like the character 'May Day' in 007: A View to a Kill (or even Grace Jones herself).
Tom: Man, did you see Zorin's girlfriend in that James Bond film, A View to a Kill!?
Bob: Awe, what a terror; May Day!
