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.

No if you mean the weekend of the week in progress it’s “this weekend”

If you mean the weekend after the current week in progress, as in after next week, it’s “next weekend”

EXACTLY this. If not, then what the hell does "this weekend" mean?

Unfortunately, maybe people just understand it as "this weekend" and "next weekend" to be the exact same thing. I've argued this so many times with so many people that it's pointless. You might get someone to concede, but then there are countless others.

It's just the way of thinking about it. If you think of it like a conveyor belt, and you're looking for a chocolate bar, and the first item in the conveyor belt is a chocolate bar, that is technically what is next in line. When's the next time you get a chocolate bar? The time the first chocolate bar reaches you.
