Poor Grandma tends towards sundowning around dusk; she's fairly alert in the morning but gets more confused in the evening.

sundowning

Term given to the environmental phenomenon occurring at Oak Street Beach in Chicago, Illinois where at sunset the non-black beach patrons leave and are quickly replaced by black beach goers. The transition is subtle and, yet, profound. Occurs almost within 10 minutes of sunset with surprising accuracy.

The flip: "It's getting near 7pm and the sun's about to set, we should probably get going home"

Trojan: "Yeah, I've noticed the sundowning already"

The flip: "dude, the sun hasn't set yet"

Trojan: "I know, but its already getting a little dark outside"

Sungooning

Sungooning describes getting extremely high and partying with natives of various cultures, specifically referring to, but not exclusive to tribal era native americans. During the day. Preferably high noon when the sun is at it's peak. When this is done at night, it is also called Moongooning. Not to be confused with the high school prank.

Me and Eagle Eye are going to take some Peyote and go Sungooning this afternoon.
We're going to Sungoon, tomorrow we're going to lick a horny toad and go deep into the cavernous tavern.
