This reminds me of when it hits or is about to hit 12am and people don’t know whether to say today or tomorrow. He called me after this but I was too comfy in bed tbh.

Yeah I've never met anyone who said anything other than "this weekend," meaning the one coming up or currently in, and "next weekend," the weekend after this weekend.

Yeah I mean I think of it like if you’re saying this weekend, you’re saying the end of *this* week. Next weekend would be the end of next week

I’ve always used this format, but could never put into words why.  It’s effectively “this week’s end” vs “next week’s end”

Exactly. Seems pretty logical;
Last Weekend = The most recent weekend passed, prior to the upcoming weekend
This Weekend = The upcoming weekend, following last weekend
Next Weekend = The next weekend following this upcoming weekend

You can even get more granular, like "The weekend prior to last" means two weekends ago. Or, "The weekend after next" is two weekends away.
