About Forenoon
Forenoon is a fairly self explanatory word. It is the time before noon. AKA the morning. So if your friend asks what time you want to meet up, but you want to keep your options open, just say "forenoon."
Did you Know?
If you're not a morning person, maybe you just don't have the words to describe it. Try to add some variety to your early hours. There's cockcrow, daybreak, dayspring, first blush, wee hours, morningtide, sunup, crack of dawn, and good old forenoon.
