daynight 

A slur on the word daylight, daynight refers to darkness that sets in mid afternoon in high latitude countries such as the UK in Winter. Can also refer to exceptionally gloomy conditions.

Look outside! Twenty to three in the afternoon and the streetlights are on. This Daynight is why so many people suffer from bloody seasonal affective disorder!

run for daylight 

This is an old football saying, meaning blockers should push rushers in the direction they are headed so running space is opened. More generally it is similar to the Judo technique of using an opponent's force against them.

The sixties Packers used a run for daylight blocking system.

Dead by Daylight 

A 4v1 game in which killers and survivors must work together to avoid a terrifying creature known as Nea Karlsson.

Nea is a powerful being that stalks and kills those who she finds.

Many characters have their own abilities to protect them. Dwight has an ability that lets him hide in lockers indefinitely. Claudette can go invisible when near tall grass. The Hillbilly can use his chainsaw to run away extremely fast. The nurse can quickly get behind walls by blinking through them. Feng Min is a great distraction, though she never lasts long as a result...

In the end though, Nea finds and kills ALL survivors.

Person 1: Wanna play some Dead by Daylight?

Person 2 : Ugh. It's always the same. You run away from Nea as fast as can and that's it man. It's so boring!

daylight wasting time 

a more appropriate term for daylight saving time since a lot of time is wasting on the silly ritual of resetting clocks a couple times a year

I hate daylight wasting time, it's such a hassle resetting all my clocks, at least the time on my cell phone resets itself automatically.

burning daylight 

Wasting time. Literally, losing valuable daylight hours (of which there never seem to be enough of).

C'mon! Get the lead out! We're burning daylight here!

burning daylight 

Wasting time during hours when the sun is up. People were often only able to work when they could see outside.

Jimmy should have been out mowing the lawn, but instead he was burning daylight playing video games in the basement.
