Friday in Popular Culture

In popular culture, the expression TGIF, an abbreviation for Thank God It's Friday or Thank Goodness It's Friday has come to symbolize Friday as a cause for celebration. (The phrase was popularized by a 1978 movie starring Donna Summer.) The phrase is also the inspiration for the restaurant, aptly named, T.G.I. Friday's.
