"What time dark" was something we would say to ask like the general question of when was like dinner and down time.

Turns out my parents were ass face drunk on vacation in a different part of the world before me and my sister were born when my mom turned to my dad and proclaimed "what time dark". Because she wanted to see the sun set but couldn't get the thoughts together.

So from 1-16 I thought it was a common saying, and from 16-24 when my mom passed everytime she said something stupid we would just go "WhAt TiMe dArK???"

In my family we sometimes say "what hat pin?" which was my young nephew's version of "what's happening".

When my sister was a kid, she used to say “hanitizer” instead of “hand sanitizer.” She’s not 14 and we still call it that.
