Long weekend
Long weekend is a term used in Western countries to denote a weekend that is at least three days long, due to a holiday falling on either the Friday or Monday. Most countries also feature many "four-day weekends," in which two days adjoining the weekend are holidays. Further, in many nations, when a lone holiday occurs on a Tuesday or a Thursday, the gap between that day and the weekend may also be designated as a holiday, or set to be a movable or floating holiday, or indeed work/school may be avoided by consensus unofficially. This is typically referred to by a phrase involving "bridge" in most languages. A special situation exists in France in some elementary schools, where there is no school on Wednesday: thus, any four-day weekend is essentially a "five-day weekend" for the kids and their teachers. Any four-day bridge, for example: Thursday and Friday for Ascension, is essentially a "five-day weekend" to some teachers. Four-day "bridge" weekends are commonplace in non-English speaking countries, but there are only a couple of examples in English-speaking countries:
