"Viercoles"

Question

I saw the following posted by one of the responders on a Yahoo! Answers site:

"Lunes, Martes, Miercoles, Jueves, Viercoles, Sabado, Domingo"

When I search for "viercoles", I got a few hits in Spanish but the English-speaking sites assume I misspelled miercoles.

Is veircoles another name for Friday (i.e. synonomous with viernes)? If so, in what areas is it used?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Other days to your dictionary are:

Juebeves: thursday.

Beviernes: friday.

Sabadrink: Saturday.

Dormingo: Sunday.

Answer 2

Es una cruza de Miercoles y Viernes.. te preguntarás ¿Por qué?.. Aquí la respuesta:

Los mexicanos por lo regular esperamos los viernes para salir a fiestas y tomar cerveza y desvelarnos, entonces cuando tienes pensado salir y tomar cerveza y desvelarte en miercoles sin importar que el jueves trabajes temprano.. le dices Viércoles!.

Bueno... eso es lo que se me ocurre que pueda ser!

Answer 3

"Viércoles" does not exist. It is a game of words as fifuentessh said.

We also play with JueBebes ( jueves), related to drinking. Or sabadrug ( sábado) to describe the day where the recreational "junkies" get high.

Got it?

Answer 5

Maybe a it is cross between Miercoles and Viernes. In any case it is probably totally made up.

Answer 6

I noticed that you can Google just about any mistyped word, and usually get results.
