PTUE: Presidential Tuesday

PTUE: Particular Tuesday

PTUE: Precious Tuesday

PTUE: La Participación de Utilidades (PTUE)

Tuesday is the day of the week between Monday and Wednesday. The name comes from Middle English Twisday, from Old English Tiwes d?g, named after the Nordic god Tyr, who was the equivalent of the Roman war god Mars.

In Latin, it is called Martis dies which means "Mars Day". In Romance languages except Portuguese, the word for "Tuesday" is similar to the Latin name: mardi in French, martes in Spanish, martedì in Italian, dimarts in Catalan, and mar?i in Romanian.

Portuguese uses numbers instead of pagan names and so their word for "Tuesday" is ter?a-feira.

The English and Scandinavian names are derived from the Nordic god Tyr (Old English Tiw):

Old English: tíwesd?g, Old Frisian t?esdei
Middle English: tíesd?i, tywesdai, twysday
Early Modern English: towesday, Twesdaie, Tyisday, Tiseday, Tuesday
Old High German: z?estag
Middle High German: z?stag
Alemannic German ziischtig
Old Norse: tyrsdagr
Swedish: Tisdag
Danish: Tirsdag
Norwegian: Tirsdag or Tysdag
Icelandic: Tysdagur
The German word Dienstag and the Dutch word Dinsdag (from the 13th century, MHG dinsdag, dinsedag, dincetag, dinstag, dingstag) is probably due to interpretation as dies judicii (thing day) or dies census in popular etymology (Grimm). Another possibility is direct derivation from the god referred to by the Romans as Mars Thingsus, the god of the thing. Altbayern, also from the 13th century, has ertag (erihtag, erehtag, erchtag, erichtag, erntag), from which Jacob Grimm in Deutsche Mythologie postulated Ear as an epithet of Ziu.

The Russian word for "Tuesday" is vtórnik, meaning "second"; that is, counting Tuesday as the second day of the week.

Quakers traditionally referred to Tuesday as "Third Day" eschewing the pagan origin of the English name "Tuesday". This has also been the custom in Iceland since about the 11th century when Jón ?gmundsson changed it to Triejudagur, meaning "Third Day".

In the Greek world, Tuesday (the day of the week of the Fall of Constantinople) is considered an unlucky day. The same is true in the Spanish-speaking world, where a proverb runs En martes, ni te cases ni te embarques (On Tuesday, neither get married nor begin a journey). For both Greeks and Spanish-speakers, the 13th of the month is considered unlucky if it falls on Tuesday, instead of Friday.

In the folk rhyme Monday's Child, "Tuesday's child is full of grace".

The Hindi/Bengali/Nepali/Gujarati/Punjabi/Marathi/Urdu word for Tuesday is Mangalwar, with Mangal being the Sanskrit name for the planet Mars.

In the Thai solar calendar, the day is named for the Pali word for the planet Mars, which also means "Ashes of the Dead" ; the color associated with Tuesday is Scarlet.

For names in other languages, see Planetary table.

Tuesday is the usual day for elections in the United States. Federal elections take place on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November; this date was established by a law of 1845 for presidential elections (specifically for the selection of the Electoral College), and was extended to elections for the House of Representatives in 1875 and for the Senate in 1914. Tuesday was the earliest day of the week which was practical for polling in the early nineteenth century: citizens might have to travel for a whole day to cast their vote, and would not wish to leave on Sunday which was a day of worship for the great majority of them.

In business, particularly office work, studies have shown that Tuesday is usually the most productive day of the week. Some of these people consider Tuesday to be their least favorite day, because they are not as relaxed as Monday (due to the weekend preceding it), yet they still have most of the work week ahead of them.

Astrology
In French, Tuesday is "Mardi", associating it with the planet Mars. Tuesday is also associated with the dwarf planet Pluto. This marries Tuesday with ideas of strife, battles to be won and pressing issues and jobs to get sorted. It is not a day to relax. This same meaning can be seen in the Spanish "Martes" and the English "Tuesday" ("Tyr's day.") In India, Tuesday is called "Mangalvar", for the Vedic planet Mangala or Mars.


Named days
Black Tuesday, in the United States, refers to October 29, 1929, part of the great Stock Market Crash of 1929. This was the Tuesday after Black Thursday. The crash is said to have marked the start of the Great Depression.
Patch Tuesday is the second Tuesday of every month when Microsoft releases patches for their products. Some system administrators call this day Black Tuesday.
Shrove Tuesday (also called Mardi Gras - fat Tuesday) precedes the first day of Lent in the Western Christian calendar.
Super Tuesday is the day many American states hold their presidential primary elections.

Home video/audio releases
In the United States and Canada, most home videos are released on Tuesdays for purchase or rental. Since this policy began, there have been very few exceptions to this common release day. Two examples of exceptions are Shrek 2, which was released on a Friday and Mission: Impossible 3, which was released on a Monday. Some stores have been known to release movies in advance of the street date, but they can be penalized by the movie studios for doing this.

All other major video and audio releases occur on Tuesdays.
