This has to do with a stranded Arab with a camel who lost his ability to walk. To survive the arid heat, he had to "bust the hump" (a very difficult task) of the camel to get nutrition and hydration.
A guy had bust the hump open on a camel to survive the heat.

Andy Maio invent this phrase in the early 70s
Cowboys loved a colorful phrase! This one meant to start a fight. A buffalo's hump was right behind his head. The image is of a cowboy jumping up and crawling onto someone's "hump" to attack them.
From a Laurel & Hardy movie.
I was told that the phrase originated with the famous jazz player Charlie Parker. Whose drug and alcohol addiction had caused massive damage to his internal organs, including severe stomach ulcers. Supposedly he laughed at something so hard it caused his ulcers to rupture and perforate his stomach lining which lead in turn to his heart attack and death. Giving origin to the term Bust a Gut.
Wednesday is at the middle point of the week so from there the weekend is a "downhill coast" Thereby the phrase wednesday is Over the Hump, or Humpday!
