Holiday
Valenswine's Day
- The day before Valentine's Day, that guys use to spend time with the second (or third) most important women in their lives. February 13th is the day that mistresses get to feel like wives and sideline hoes get to feel like star players. It's especially sad when the girl doesn't know she's not the only girl her "boyfriend" is seeing.
Girl 1: He's taking you out the day before Valentine's Day?
Girl 2: Yeah, he has to work late on Valentine's Day.
Girl 1: I'm pretty sure he's going to be with his actual girlfriend. That's why he's taking you out on Valenswine's Day.
Girl 2: Yeah, he has to work late on Valentine's Day.
Girl 1: I'm pretty sure he's going to be with his actual girlfriend. That's why he's taking you out on Valenswine's Day.
