Comment on I hear phrases like "half-past", "quarter til", and "quarter after" way less often since digital clocks have became more commonplace.
The practice still has one very important application:
“What time is it?”
“Half past a monkey’s ass, quarter to his balls”
Our family’s was “freckle past a hair and time to get a watch”
