convict hour

name

Etymology

convict + hour, as criminal activities might be expected to take place in the quiet hours of the night.

Definitions

  1. Around four to five o'clock in the morning.

    • At the convict hour between four and five when even those with the least to fear are darkened and sober, and back away from waking.
    • The beauty of four in the morning is not its furnishings and décor, but its aim-lessness and stolen quality. I suppose that's why Cappy always calls it “The Convict Hour.”
