Semantics: This v. Next

"So you ready for next Friday?"
"You mean this Friday? It's happening this Friday."
"Yeah, that's what I said."
"No, you said next Friday."
"Well, it's the next Friday on the calendar."
"But it's this Friday."
"Then when's next Friday?"
"The Friday after this Friday."
"You mean next Friday?"
"Yeah, next Friday."
"So the next Friday after this Friday is next Friday?"
"Yeah."
"The Friday next after this Friday is next Friday."
"That's what I said."
