Actually, a thought occurred to me regarding POETS day: Piss Off Early Tomorrow's Saturday.
For your enhanced North American enjoyment, the UK-use of 'Piss Off' does not mean to annoy someone. In fact here in Britain it means to 'leave, go, depart, move off smartly, get-the-hell-outta-there, etc'. So the reference could be translated thus: 'I say old chap, do you realise it's Friday, and tomorrow is Saturday? Why don't we be awfully cheeky and leave work a tad early today, it'll be awfully good sport, what what?' Instead of: 'Hey there buuud, seein' as termorra's Saterdee an' all, what sayin we head on dern the saloon and beat up on ol' Jakey-One-Eye, that'll get 'im riled some...'
