Reply to comment by Proof-Variation7005 in Thirsty Thursday by asamadx1649

It’s clearly not, when it’s a marketing strategy used to get people out drinking more.

All you have to do is Google “thirsty Thursday drink specials” to see you’re wrong.

I assure you that you will find more results with <Literally any day of the week> + "drink specials"

I'm sure plenty of bars use it as a marketing thing, because they're taking the college slang that every 18-22 year old has used and heard a billion times before they've even been to a bar.

Sure thing, Jan. That’s why it’s a term for drink specials. Just like Sunday Funday.

Why don't you look it up on urban dictionary, or just google it what it means and see pretty much everyone saying the exact same thing? Or just ask some people you know? The first documented commercial use was in the 80s for some random minor league team. Ask someone who went to college before then. Hell, my dad graduated PC in the 60s and he knew that shit.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but bars didn't invent that either. That was someone (possibly Susanna Hoffs) noticing Sun and Fun rhyme.

Oh, and it's "sure, Jan" - I'd be harsher about this cause you're snarkily trying to type a dismissive animated gif to me but at this point I'm just proud of you for not declaring that it was from the fucking partridge family too

Calm down. I never said bars invented it. I was countering that it is not a term used by people holed up drinking busch beer in their dorms. Your words, not mine.

Edit: I said it’s a strategy to get people to drink more, and from your previous statement you again are agreeing with me. Thank you.
