Next Week is Break

The phrase "Next Week is Break" is not a true linguistic phenomenon. It does not share any of the anomalous traits of slogans such as we're watching, or we were here, nor does it share the psychosomatic effect of the well known bird-centric hysteria. Despite this, it enjoys popular use as ironic and paradoxical commentary.
== Meaning ==
"Next Week is Break" proudly exclaims that the future holds the promise of rest. It is a motivational boost to the downtrodden and distressed... in theory.
In reality, the phrase is often used insincerely. "Next week" is always in the future. It is different from "This week", and always will be. Thus, the current week will never be next week, and therefore never be break. There are no dates, only present and future, and a failure to reconcile the two. "Next Week is Break" takes the eventual rest after work and positions it infinitely farther away. It is a critique on a society that demands toil without recompense; that builds its labor on false promise.
"Next Week is Break" shares no significance to the Phenomenon "The Weekend."
== Cultural Significance ==
Few earth establishments use this phrase in its ironic form. This is due to the second meaning originating from offworld colonies, particularly the Xuan Gut Prefecture and Juin Xok Prefecture. The former is known for its exploitation of Caliber 4's, and the latter is known for being full of lazies.
The phrase "Next Week is Break" appeared frequently in an anonymous Xuan Gut story of the same name. This 6,666 page manuscript is full of largely redundant loops and has been truncated to 66 pages as of 2016: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eqHZO49-KKMjb5u36xZf0K1dDg5bDxMg76Pop1lEk68/edit?usp=sharing
== Notes ==
* Contrary to popular belief, a break is not just "the absence of work"
* There is little time left
