The Revolutionary calendar (assuming you mean the French Revolutionary Calendar), had a ten-day week (decade, IIRC), in which each day's name translated as "Firstday", "Seconday", etc. Each month had 3 decades, so that to name a day, you'd say, for the 11th, for example, decade II (Firstday) -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'.
