It’s Wednesday. And it’s October 3. Which means it’s the ultimate Mean Girls day.

So fetch.

Two famous quotes from Mean Girls have collided 14 years after Tina Fey’s cult teen film hit cinemas.

So in celebration of Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) crushing on Aaron Samuels (Jonathan Bennett) here’s everything you need to know about Mean Girls Day:

What is it?

The Plastics: Gretchen Wieners, Regina George, Cady Heron and Karen Smith

Fans coined the term for October 3 after Aaron, who looks sexy with his hair pushed back, asked Cady what the date was.

“On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was,” Cady says before Aaron can be seen playing out the scene as he swivels to her in math class to ask.

Cady replies: “It’s October 3.”

Why do we wear pink on Wednesdays?

Mean Girls - In Pictures

1/8

The Plastics, made up of Regina George, Gretchen Wieners and Karen Smith have a whole rule book for what to wear and when. On Wednesday they wear pink.

Cady borrowed a pink shirt from Damian Leigh for her first Wednesday lunch with the Plastics, and to this day we doubt she ever returned it.

He still wants that pink shirt back. He WANTS THAT PINK SHIRT BACK.

Who has been celebrating the joint occasion?

The real question is, who hasn’t?

Cady Heron, the new queen bee herself, marked the momentous day on Instagram. She shared a video of a friend quoting: “On October 3 he asked me what day it was.” Lohan turns the camera on herself and replies: “It’s October 3.”

Bennett posted stills from the film on Instagram, writing: “14 years ago today, I asked @lindsaylohan what day it is. #MeanGirlsDay.”

He also marked the day with the release of a parody cookbook for Mean Girls fans.

Long live Mean Girls day!
