Sunday afternoon 

The time of the long dark teatime of the soul.
In the end, it was the Sunday afternoons he couldn't cope with, and that terrible listlessness that starts to set in about 2:55, when you know you've taken all the baths that you can usefully take that day, that however hard you stare at any given paragraph in the newspaper you will never actually read it, or use the revolutionary new pruning technique it describes, and that as you stare at the clock the hands will move relentlessly on to four o'clock, and you will enter the long dark teatime of the soul.

Sunday afternoon 

The internationally-recognised time to start any homework that has been assigned for one's weekend. This includes (but is not limited to) math problems, lines, essays, papers, presentations, studying for exams, and take-home tests.

Larger projects are usually assigned over a weekend because of the "extra time" it gives students. This is amusing because students do not utilise this extra time, instead choosing to begin work on at the very end of the weekend.

In some cases, Sunday afternoon is better stated as Sunday evening.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
