If memory serves me right it literally said have a nice hump day...it's a proper term not rude/offensive unless you're always looking for problems where they don't exist.

If I was a vain person I'd say someone was out to get me...but then I'm not at school in the playground any more...but some are

Intriguing. Who decides if a word is 'rude' or otherwise?

From their reply Genes do it seems Dermot....so it must depend if a shrinking violet is on duty that day or a numpty head....

In the US and Canada, just say I'll wake you in the morning or I'll give you a call in the morning.

do not use the term commonly used in mill and railway towns in northern England, and possibly elsewhere in UK .............

The knocker upper was a common sight, with his long pole to tap on bedroom windows and wake up people to start their early morning shift.

I used to hear his clogs on the cobbles on the road as he hurried down the street when I was a small child.
