I would not have guessed that meaning of “of.” I think we should stick to “til” or “past” for clarity.
I wish our numeric system was base 12 instead of base 10!
100% yes! I have pretty intense time blindness due to ADHD. The visual representation of time in analog clocks helps me.

“Queen” by itself refers to either women or gay men. It is not gender neutral. “Drama queen” is applied to all genders, but, again, this example is pejorative toward women. Do you have any examples of women-centric language that can refer to all genders, but that is not negative toward women?
