in case you were wondering

I titled my blog after a pretty kickin' song written by mofro. As most phrases do, "six ways from sunday" has a few meanings. Here's a couple so you know what the heck you're reading.

1. Use this phrase to describe something you did or would like to do a good amount of times. This phrase says "six ways" which represent the six days after Sunday in a week (Monday - Saturday). It can have a positive or negative connotation depending on the manner in which you use it.

2. A numerous amount or a lot. Used often to describe different methods of doing the same thing. I am guessing it came from people with a bad case of the mondays who think its a long time until they can relax again on sunday. Possibly of British origin.

3. To approach a task with zeal or gusto. To do something thoroughly and completely. See also white on rice.
