For those wondering, it’s Ante Meridiem and Post Meridiem. It’s Latin.

In grade school I had the worst time remembering which was which, so I used to tell myself After Midnight and Pre Midnight lol. I absolutely knew it was Latin for something, but could never remember it for the life of me.

I'm gonna start saying that instead of using the abbreviation. "I'll meet you at 2:30 post merideum."
