When I was at school, my group of friends had a tradition of naming days of the week after items of clothing, and there was a rule that you had to wear whatever item of clothing it happened to be. Sadly I have long since forgotten most of them, but Mondays were always Pretty Knicker Monday (attractive underwear obligatory, and we weren't above conducting spot checks to ensure compliance), the idea being that Mondays could be rather depressing and a nice pair of pants would only improve matters. Then there was Odd Sock Friday, on which you had to wear odd socks. That one was, admittedly, less logical.
Later, we extrapolated this general principle to drinks at the local pub - used to meet once a week, usually mid-week. If we went out for drinks on a Wednesday, it was Woo-Woo Wednesday and we shared a cocktail pitcher of Woo-Woo. If we met on a Thursday, it was Rose Thursday, and at least one bottle of rose wine would be purchased.
Happy days.
