The times of day when you realize that it's too early or too late to call friends and/or family. "Hoot" is an acronym that stands for "hold off on telephone". "Hoot" also suggests times of the day when owls are active and hooting.
Adam: Do you think it's okay to call Barbara and Debbie for a hike up in the Catskills?
John: I dunno, Adam, I think it's hoot time for Debbie. She works a graveyard shift and usually hits the sack first thing when she gets home.

Occurs when you have your eye on something you want or need and you're competing with one or more people for the same thing, like a seat on the train or a much-coveted book. It's as if you had shone an imaginary laser pointer at the seat or book, in order to claim your right to have it.

A Chechen musical instrument, this is a type of lute with usually three strings, a spade- or bottle-shaped hollow body, and a short fretted fingerboard. The sound quality is bright but at the same time soft in volume. "Dechik" means "wood" and "pondur" or "pondar" means "musical instrument".
