virtual Friday: n. (also logical Friday) The last
day before an extended weekend, if that day is not a ‘real’
Friday. For example, the U.S. holiday Thanksgiving is always on a
Thursday. The next day is often also a holiday or taken as an extra day
off, in which case Wednesday of that week is a virtual Friday (and Thursday
is a virtual Saturday, as is Friday). There are also virtual Mondays that are actually Tuesdays,
after the three-day weekends associated with many national holidays in the
U.S.
