"It's [officially] Friday" — a celebratory declaration marking the start of the weekend, treated as its own recurring social media ritual rather than just a statement of fact about the day.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"SEXTOU, finalmente essa semana acabou."

LORE & ORIGIN

Brazilian Portuguese slang built from sexta(-feira) (Friday), popularized through a 2015 song and subsequently turned into the #sextou social media ritual — a recurring weekly hashtag/caption trend on Instagram that at its peak generated posts numbering in the millions.
