December 15, 2006: after hours
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=after+hours&defid=608931

• Sometimes means "after party", but it usually means a more mellow gathering of friends rather than a rowdy party. Basically, it's whatever you're doing after the bars close. Usually not referred to in the past or present because it sounds pretentious -- only in the future tense.

1. "Do you know of any after hours?"
2. "What are you doing after hours?"
3. "There's supposed to be an after hours at Moe's pad.

Incorrect: "We had a really good after hours last night." or "This after hours sucks."
