Tuesday is fat because it is depressed and overeats. The other days have special connotations. Saturday and Sunday represent excitement and adventure. Monday connotes responsibility and focus. Wednesday is hump day--get past it and you're close to the weekend. Most of the good TV is on Thursday, and Friday is all expectation and counting the hours until works and who knows what begins.
Tuesday just exists, a low volume mail day with nothing to recommend it. Tuesday is insecure, isolated, depressed.
One suspects when God created the world His attention was elsewhere on Tuesday. Perhaps he was thinking ahead to the weekend.
Sadly, Fat Tuesday could refer to actress Tuesday Weld, who retired too early, stayed home and binged. Maybe if they had named her Friday she'd have a healthier self image.
