In most cases. But I feel like on Mondays most people refer to next weekend as the coming weekend since we just came out of a weekend.

26th

It’s the next weekend.

If the weekend has started it’s this weekend (exception of it’s very close to starting like on Thursday)

If ppl don’t follow this obvious logic they’re too stupid to be your friend
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

That gives no frame of reference for when it’s “this weekend” though.

If you’re not in the middle of a weekend there is no “this weekend”

When you’re on vacation you might say “this vacation is awesome” because you’re in the middle of the vacation

If your next vacation is 6 months from now you say “I can’t wait for our next vacation” because it hasn’t started yet.

“This” = this thing happening right now.

This movie is great
This car ride sucks
This commercial is boring

All happening in the moment.

If an episode is near its end and you see a preview for the next one coming up airing next week you say the next episode looks awesome (or maybe you say this next episode looks awesome)

You don’t say this episode looks awesome, referring to the next one.

I read the whole thing - then saw your sig and lol'd

This *comming* weekend.

If you are in the middle of a weekend you say today/tomorrow.

OP I think you better clarify with your friends just to be sure

This coming weekend is the same thing as saying this next weekend.

You’re clarifying it’s not “this” weekend. It’s “this coming” or “this next” weekend.

Next weekend is just short for this next weekend

Coming weekend is this also short for this coming weekend. “This” is dropped because it’s unnecessary, since “this weekend” is the current weekend

The dictionary solves this for everyone using “next” incorrectly

The American Heritage Dictionary (4th ed) defines 'next' simply as

“Immediately following, as in time, order, or sequence”


Following this definition, "next weekend" will always mean the weekend with the start date in closes proximity in time. If the phrase is used during a weekend, of course, you'd be referring to the weekend following the one you are currently experiencing.

But if you are in the middle of a week, next weekend is the one immediately upcoming


So many uneducated miscers can’t even properly use the word “next” in a sentence
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."
