Here's a funny thing I found out recently. Germans think "noon" is a quick and quirky way to say "afternoon". In other words, they don't understand that "noon" refers to a specific time in the day. Here's an example of a conversation I've had multiple times with a variety of Germans:
Me: Great! Wanna meet at noon?
German: Sure! When?
Me:...noon?
German: Yes, but when at noon?
Me: ....how about...at...NOON?????
(For all the Germans reading this post, "noon" is 12 o'clock in the daytime. Please just learn that. It'll make my life easier.)
