12pm
Lunch hour starts
Noon; twelve o'clock in the daytime.
The designation can cause confusion since technically 12pm is neither ante meridiem (before noon) nor post meridiem (after noon)—it *is* noon.
Convention has settled on 12pm for midday and 12am for midnight, though 12 noon and 12 midnight avoid ambiguity.
