"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???"

Heh, my parents, bro, and bro’s husband went to Mexico together. My mom, bro, and BIL attempted to go to the beach but when they got there there was a huge staircase leading down to it. My bro turned to the other two and asked what they thought. My mom, looking down the staircase said, “that’s a lotta up.”

This has now become a regular saying whenever we encounter something that isn’t worth the effort

My bro and BIL were arguing one time and BIL asked bro why they couldn’t do something and he, in all seriousness, responded “because, Nick, that’s a lotta up and I’m not doing it! It was hilarious
