Does "FRI-YAY" still make sense?

GingerPeach — Fri, 03 Apr 2020 22:41:48 GMT

Even if you thought it did before (I did not), is it valid these days?

For all too many of us, the days are running together and reaching Friday as any sort of milestone doesn't really make anyone extra happy like it may have before.

Thoughts?

Still working at the office/warehouse and when Friday hits, "Yay" is not the word I'm thinking of.

I truly agree, let's bury it.

I'm very happy to report that I've never heard this phrase anywhere except QVC. I agree with you that I don't think right now people are celebrating anything, not even Friday.

IMO, it was stupid then and it is stupid now. 🤷‍♀️

It is a clever phrase for escapism!

Does Good Morning, America still make sense if your morning is not good?

Advertisers need to capure our attention.

Don't sweat the small stuff!

Perfectly fine. Some of us (actually a lot of us) still have to work. Not everyone is off due to closures or can wfh. Nothing wrong with it, the phrase. We're all in this so let's be optimistic and remember. . .No One is promised a tomorrow!

The days run together. My sister thought today was Thursday when she facetimed me earlier today but I said it was Friday. One day is like the next.....

i dont see anything wrong with being upbeat and positive, especially during this time.

we need a lot more YAY in our lives, especially these days.

qvc did not invent it nor are they the only ones using the expression.

it has been around since AT LEAST 2011.....check out urban dictionary.

Time for QVC to quietly retire the trite phrase.

In the scheme of things what does it matter? Its a trivial thing to be concerned about.

The answer is ...NO!

They should just stop with that. Espec now and actually it used to be a popular thing to say but not anymore! I never did like it.

I try to keep things as normal as possible, and it is normal for me to dislike the phrase. I'm as optimistic as anyone can be at this time, but that doesn't change my taste.

It bothered me as being immature when things were "normal" and everyone had a job and looked forward to Friday and the coming weekend. Now, it's a slap in the face to those sitting on the sofa wondering when unemployment checks will begin.

No, it doesn't. I wasn't a fan to begin with, but it seems like every day, including Friday, brings more bad or heartbreaking news. People we know are getting deathly ill in my small community.

As far as being excited for the weekend, the essential workers are still having to work, and they are working on weekends too. Of course they are not watching QVC.

over 8400 deaths, no funerals. Friyay needs to stop. Sorry.

It does for me. I am in an essential business and going to work everyday with 65% of our staff at home, the pressure at my job with the 35% still is office is emence. So Fri-Yay is much need for me.
