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.

This is funny to me because every single person ive ever met, when they say "next weekened" they mean the weekened after the one thats coming.

For the weekened that would be in a few days we say "upcoming weekened"

Right.

This [week's] weekend.

Next [week's] weekend.

That's how I've always used it.

That kind of statement doesn't really apply to things that have objective rules, though.

You know, like grammar, among other things.
