What it means
That soggy, doomy headspace that rolls in when the weekend's packed up and Monday starts demanding eye contact. You're not properly sick, just running low on soul, sleep, and patience. It usually hits on the commute, when everyone's clutching a coffee and looking spiritually unfinished.
Usage examples
"You good, mate? Nah, Monday morning feeling, head’s still in bed. Grab us a brew, yeah? Big one, I’ve got back-to-back meetings."
"I had a proper monday-morning-feeling and could barely face the inbox."
"A strong coffee usually shifts that monday-morning-feeling for me."
"I've got a filthy Monday morning feeling today, don't chat to me till this coffee's done its job."
"Whole office had the Monday morning feeling, just dead eyes and kettle traffic from nine sharp."
Where it comes from
A transparent picture of the gloom that lands on a Monday morning, once the weekend is over and work looms again. The heavy, reluctant mood gets bundled up into a single tidy name.
