What Does TGIT Mean in a Text?

TGIT means "Thank God It's Thursday!" or "Thank Goodness It's Thursday!".

Thank God It's Thursday!

The abbreviation TGIT is used with the meaning "Thank God It's Thursday!" to express excitement at the prospect of the approaching weekend.

In countries where the weekend is made up of Saturday and Sunday ,TGIT is an exaggeration of TGIF (Thank God It's Friday), which is widely used to express relief at the end of the working week. However, it is thought that the expression "Thank God It's Thursday!" may have originated in Saudi Arabia, where the popular saying "Hala Bel Khamis" translates literally as "Welcome Thursday." In most Arab nations, the weekend consists of Friday and Saturday, so TGIT is the region's equivalent of TGIF.

Thank Goodness It's Thursday!

TGIT is also used with the meaning "Thank Goodness It's Thursday," by those who prefer not to use the word "God" as an exclamation.
