Meaning
What does Sunday Funday mean?
Sunday Funday is when the two best days of the weekend, Friday and Saturday, are over, but you are not quite ready to end the party.
We all know, Fridays are for the men and Saturdays are for the boys, but what comes after?
That’s where “Sunday Funday” begins!
You can either not go to bed at all after Saturday’s party and go straight to “Sunday Funday”, or you can get a few hours rest and start again Sunday morning, no matter what, we are partying again!
You often start with easy drinks such as Mimosas, or the good ol’ hangover cure Bloody Mary, not to mention the drink that was named after the day itself: a “Sunday Funday” shot, that will help you keep the party going while day drinking away in the Dawn of the final day.
Luckily, since you started early, you’ll be wasted and soon passed out by late afternoon, and will get plenty of sleep till work or school on Monday!
