Get the balls o'clock mug.Coined by a graduate student while pursuing her PhD and teaching a full load of courses:
The time of day roughly characterized as being between 2:00 am - 6:00 am (depending upon your personal nocturnal patterns and time zone). It is the time when 'normal' people are asleep, because they have to be up and about during working hours the next day. You are exhausted and want very much to be asleep, too. However, you are awake at stupid o'clock because:
(1) you are grouchily doing work to meet a deadline (perhaps because you waited until the last minute to finish it or have perfectionist tendencies),
(2) you haven't yet gone to bed because you are too foolish/lazy to stop goofing off (surfing the net, talking to friends, watching TV/movies, playing video games, reading a book, etc.),
(3) you have to wake up much earlier than your usual time for an important event (which may be an unwanted obligation or an event you desire to attend),
(4) you experience tremendous inspiration and simply cannot stop writing, painting, coding, constructing or otherwise working on your personal project, whatever it might be (a rare usage of the term).

Get the poop clock mug.The four o'clock freak-out occurs on Sunday afternoons before the start of a week of college work. You suddenly realize that it is already four o'clock (the day is almost over!) and you have not done anything in preparation for the week ahead. Instead you have wasted the time you had to do work by surfing facebook, napping, and shopping. This catastrophe could be followed closely by the five o'clock freak-out, which sneaks up while you are wasting more time freaking out.
I spent Friday and Saturday having fun, with good intentions to study on Sunday. I slept in late, putzed around the house until I realized it was FOUR O'CLOCK and I still had to write three papers and put together a presentation, suddenly my stomach dropped, my heart started pounding, and I knew I was experiencing the Four O'clock Freak-out!

Get the milk the clock mug.Fuck. OFF. sigh. no more fart, alcohol, potato, or poor jokes about us, please. We are people too, who have feelings, and it is offensive. We have gone through so much shit, don't know if any of you shitheads realize it, but we have. No, the blacks weren't alone. Sure they had slavery, but we had fuckin brits on us, fire us first, hire us last. We were always poor, slaved in factories, were kept down by the brits, made to build a wall, many died in the process. Little kids. Elderly, sick, tired people. Everyone gets jumped on for being racist about african-americans now, but what about all the fuckin Irish jokes? cut it out. My grandma came to America when she was 18, and everyone made her embarrassed about her heritage. She was too shy to TALK. Then, she met Grandpa. =) he understood her. Now she's pretty well off, rich actually. I have only faced a little racism, I don't really have an accent, no (well, some people say I talk a little weird, lol), but when people find out I'm Irish... there's where the alcoholic jokes begin.
