Peak hour (n.)
A term commonly used by DJs to refer to the busiest period of a night at a gig, whether it's a house party, club event, or rave. It's the time of night when the crowd is the biggest, and the DJ is spinning the most popular, energetic, and dramatic tracks (colloquially, "anthems", "bangers", and "choons"). It is usually also the time during which the headlining DJ is on the decks.
By association, it can be used to describe the tracks that one would play during this period, and record labels will often advertise a release as being a "peak hour tune" to increase the hype around the record.
People waving their hands in the air, drinks spilling, sweat, whistles, yells, and huge musical buildups are all strong signs that peak hour is arrived.
Not dancing during peak hour, or worse, leaving before it, is to be highly frowned upon.

Get the peak hourmug. An entirely sarcastic term used to imply that a problem is going to be time- and soul-consuming. It's a twist on an old advertising phrase for games and toys, applied with the opposite intended meaning.
This style puts much error recovery and clean-up code very far from the thing that spawned the error. Hours Of Fun!

Get the hours of funmug. Approximately 3 am when two people who met at the bar should be hooking up and not engaging in idle chatter, otherwise its time to go to bed. Especially applicable on a trip, where multiple dudes are sharing a hotel room and your buddy needs to get down or the barfly needs to go home.

Get the Happy hourmug. The Hour between 3 am and 4 am. Called this because this is the time that the most people die in their sleep in hospitals. Significant because this is also the time that people are generally sleeping deepest, so things are quietest.
The robbers chose to wait till the dead hour to break into the store, because there would be no-one to see them, and no-one would wake up.
