bucket friday 

Any day that takes place before a strange and sometimes seemingly pointless day off of school, like Columbus Day, or Superintendent Conference Day.

A Bucket Friday can take place on any day of the week. If there is no school on Wednesday, Tuesday is a Bucket Friday (NOT a Bucket Tuesday).

The term originated when a high school student misheard his band director's words "I could get fired" as "Bucket Friday". In the weeks that followed, the term spread throughout the school with no real meaning. Annoyed with the constant yelling of "Bucket Friday!" without any meaning, the band director decided on a definition in hopes that some day before he retires, there will be a section of Hallmark cards for Bucket Friday.

Jack: Man, i hate Mondays.
James: Cheer up, we dont have school tomorrow.
Jack: You mean today is a Bucket Friday??
James: Hell yeah dude!

Gin Bucket Friday 

Pre-game tradition originating at St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY, where 6-8 people gather and casually drink from the gin bucket. This occurs every friday night or whenever else one is called. Many different gin buckets go on at once, however, one may belong to only one.

Ingredients:
2 liters of Gin
2 liters of Sprite
3.5 liters of Simply Limeaid
Ice
Bucket

Hey, what are you doing tonight?
Uhh, its Gin Bucket Friday man!
