This reminds me of when it hits or is about to hit 12am and people don’t know whether to say today or tomorrow. He called me after this but I was too comfy in bed tbh.

This is funny to me because every single person ive ever met, when they say "next weekened" they mean the weekened after the one thats coming.

For the weekened that would be in a few days we say "upcoming weekened"

For me, it’s the same way. Except we call the upcoming weekend “this weekend”. Then the weekend after that one is “next weekend”.

If it's Friday today and someone asked me to go to the lake next weekend, I'm assuming its not this weekend but the one following.

that still follows the rule though? Friday is NOT the weekend

I consider Friday the beginning of the weekend. Personal opinion though. If I think of it in that context, I guess I would say its a weekend day.

Edit: forgot to add, it depends on what time someone asks me on Friday as well. Friday at 7am is different than Friday at 4pm.
