Straight-up Noon

What is Straight-up Noon?


1.

Exactly 12:00 noon, on the dot. So called because both hands of an analog clock point "straight up" when it is precisely noon. "Straight-up midnight" is used the same way.

We had to be there at straight-up noon, and not a minute late.

See meridian, apex, zenith
