  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

     also virtual Mondays that are actually Tuesdays, after the three-day
     weekends associated with many national holidays in the U.S.
