Meme: Friday Afternoon

Origin: Olafur Waage

Cultural Height: Friday in Iceland

Background: Friday Afternoon is generally recognized as the period of the week when programmers like to slack off (more than usual) and begin an early unwinding from the past week's worth of not doing anything of great importance or productiveness. This time period has often resulted in users posting "laid back" or "fun" questions on Stack Overflow, meeting both great acclaim and massive community outrage.

The Friday Afternoon theme has now gained more traction on Meta Stack Overflow more than any other site in the League of Justice. It is not uncommon to see multiple "Friday Afternoon" questions posted throughout the day. This resulted in the creation of the tag always-friday-in-iceland, which used to be quite popular until one sad day it got marked as a synonym of fun.

There is no set time frame which Friday Afternoon falls, because as once said in a song, "It's 5 o'clock somewhere". Because of this, you are just as likely to see a question posted early on Friday morning (depending on your time zone) as you are to see one posted in the afternoon.
