VERMnacular: Three-day weekend

1. A period of three days occurring several times during the school year. Causes of the three-day-weekend vary, but each occurrence is marked by a decrease in the population of Vermillion and a decrease of beer supplies at gas stations, grocery stores and the liquor store. Studying sometimes occurs on the third day.

Sample 1:

“Are you going to the football game this weekend?”

“No, I’m going home. It’s a three-day weekend, and my laundry is filthy.”

Sample 2: 

“What are you doing over the three-day weekend?”

“‘Modern Warfare 3’ and a case of beer. Goodbye study habits.”
