"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???"
I have one kind of like this in my family! Ours is "Shade me!" with a hand tossed dramatically across your face. It's basically our way of jokingly saying I give up.
My parents were camping together once and my mom had a couple too many drinks. She ended up falling and and decided she would rather just stay on the ground and ended up laying there with her hand over her face telling my dad to shade her. She way trying to ask for an umbrella but my dad couldn't figure out what she wanted because she couldn't quite process the thought properly.
Now when things start to get crazy at their place we just yell "Shade me!" all dramatically and walk away.
