Preevning 

A part of day time between afternoon and evening. Made up by Sheldon Cooper in Big Bang Theory.
Howard: Your date is tomorrow afternoon 4:30.
Sheldon Cooper: That's not afternoon. That's preevning

What?

It's a time of day I invented. It better defines
the ambiguous period between afternoon and evening:
preevning.

That time in the afternoon where it is still afternoon but starts to feel like evening because you start to think about dinner. I.E. beginning at 4pm. Prevening runs between 4pm and 6pm.
"Well it's now 4pm, time to start thinkin about dinner. It's prevening now."

"It's 6pm, prevening is over, it's now evening."
The time of day in between afternoon and evening, usually when dinner is served. Like 5:00 o'clock bro.
Do you want to be cool during prevening, Bro?
