Discussion Groups / English Usage / November 2006Saying: "Looks like Saturday morning"
Someone was dressed up as a basketball player at work today (Hallowe'en) and a colleague said to them, "you look like Saturday morning." What does that mean? I've never heard this phrase before. > Someone was dressed up as a basketball player at work today > (Hallowe'en) and a colleague said to them, "you look like Saturday > morning." > > What does that mean? I've never heard this phrase before. Perhaps your colleague was used to playing basketball every Saturday morning? > Someone was dressed up as a basketball player at work today > (Hallowe'en) and a colleague said to them, "you look like Saturday > morning." > > What does that mean? I've never heard this phrase before. I think it means "You look terrible", as in "the morning after the night before". Also stated as "What's the matter? Didn't make it home last night?" "Aha! I see you had a sleepover." A person may look "all thrown together", if he gets up late and disorganized after too little sleep. Hungover. > Someone was dressed up as a basketball player at work today > (Hallowe'en) and a colleague said to them, "you look like Saturday > morning." > > What does that mean? I've never heard this phrase before. Saturday morning is when working men go out and play their sports, tennis, basketball, etc. > Someone was dressed up as a basketball player at work today > (Hallowe'en) and a colleague said to them, "you look like Saturday > morning." > > What does that mean? I've never heard this phrase before. It means "You look like you're dressed for Saturday morning." And I would take that to imply that the basketball player, or maybe the colleague, is used to engaging in athletic activities on Saturday mornings.
