noon shine

(noun, colloquial; also as: noonshine, noon-shine)

the lustrous appearance of skin on the face as the body naturally secretes oils throughout the day; the apparent sheen of skin about halfway through the workday as you've begun to break a stress-sweat and also it's humid AF and the boss won't turn up the a/c because it wastes corporate's money; akin to the five o'clock shadow.

Staci keeps blotting paper in her purse to absorb the noon-shine from her forehead before touching up her makeup after lunch.

This looming deadline is giving me a noon shine!

These TPS reports are making me so livid, I'm sweating up a noonshine like a mofo.

Get the noon shinemug.

Noon-on

The afternoon timeframe beginning specifically at at noon trough the duration of the afternoon. Attention to the time is relative to noon vs anytime in the afternoon. Consideration of other times is acceptable, but should first acknowledge noon. "Noon-on" establishes a relative degree of protocol to planning time, beyond simply afternoon, early afternoon, or late afternoon. See examples below:

The process only takes a few hours, and we'd like to finish early, so lets begin noon-on. (The process can begin anytime in the afternoon, but relative to the "duration" and "end-early" desire, consideration should be given to noon, to early afternoon first).
