Green Day is the name of the now band formerly known as Sweet Children, from Rodeo Cali. The members were potheads as teenagers and were watching Sesame Street once, and they said 'green day' at some point on it and they thought it was funny. So, it became slang for day spent smoking marijuana. John Kiftmeyer (aka Al Sobronte, former drummer of Green Day) had a jacket made that had 'green day' written on the back, and eventually they decided to make it their band name. They also have a song called 'Green Day' that is pretty much about the same thing.
Also, the best band in the world, btw.
'at green day yesterday was awwwwwwsome. the teletubbies are so friggin funny!

someone who claims to be a green day fan, but only owns american idiot, and EVEN SO only listens to tracks 1, 3, 4 and 11.(american idiot, holiday, blvd. of broken dreams, and wake me up when sept. ends) also thinks that american idiot was green day's first cd. can not recognize billie without eyeliner, black hair or a tie(and do not know that he is MARRIED). if you are a real green day fan, it is EXTREAMLY difficult to prevent yourself from chewing these people out, screaming at them, or bitch slapping them. you just sit there and you eye twitches.
