eight o'clock
Common breakfast time
Eight o'clock is the time when the hour hand points to eight—either morning or evening.
Context usually makes clear which: Dinner's at eight o'clock.
The phrase also describes position by analogy to a clock face: Check your six o'clock means look behind you; at your eight o'clock means slightly behind and to your left.
