Los lunes ni las gallinas ponen
On Mondays not even hens lay eggs
Origin: Mexico
Nobody likes the beginning of the week. How do we know aside from personal experience? According to the Mexcian expression “Los lunes ni las gallinas ponen,” even hens don’t lay eggs on Mondays.
This humorous expression reflects a universal sentiment: Mondays are just not good for productivity.
While we don’t know the exact origins of this expression, it likely has its roots in agrarian societies where the productivity of farm animals was closely observed and tied to the rhythms of daily life.
Over time, this expression has come to be used more broadly outside of the rural context in Spanish-speaking countries.
