With that convoluted title I'm making myself think about what we'd call the additional days on other planets or other different temporal circumstances.

Instead of ending them with -day you could end them with the planetary body name or circumstance name. Today might be Lajove on Jupiter!

Nice a Jupiter day or a Lajove is only 10 Earth hours. Mercury on the other hand is over 1000 Earth hours. https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/days/en/

One of my favorite moments in Downton Abbey; when he says, I can do it on the weekends; and the Countess (Maggie Smith) says “what’s a week end?”

It just killed me. Yeah she’d be so out of touch with workers that she’d have no context. lol

The beginning of the end of Earth-week? I guess it's time to ride the cosmic waves to eternity then.
