<h1>Happy Hour Definition: Reduced price for serving beverages</h1>
Happy hour literally translates to happy hour, and if you understand it as a happy hour of "going out" or a happy time of "shopping", you are very wrong; happy hour refers specifically to the time when drinks are served at a reduced price.
The idiomatic phrase happy hour originated in a new York bar for more than forty years. One day the owner posted an advertisement on the glass window saying that the bar set every day from 5 to 6 p.m. as happy hour. During this time, drinks are sold at half price. This hour is when people leave the office on their way home. This happy hour ad immediately attracted a crowd of people on the street. The bar was immediately booming, and other bars and restaurants followed suit, and soon after the wind of happy hour blew to other cities and even other countries, and some places extended the happy hour from five to seven, up to two hours. Later, happy hour refers to the period when restaurants offer reduced-priced drinks in order to attract customers.
Example:
The food in that new Italian restaurant across the street is pretty good, but business is slow. So they've started a happy hour in the hope people will stay on and order dinner.
The Italian restaurant across the street tasted good, but the business was not good. So they started using lucky moments to woo customers and hoped they would stay for dinner.
<h1>Banker's Hour Interpretation: Comfortable and comfortable work
</h1>
Banker means "banker", and banker's hour specifically refers to comfortable and comfortable work.
Thirty years ago, the bank opened for a particularly short time, from 10 a.m. to 2 or 3 p.m. In this way, it seems that bankers only work four or five hours a day, but it really makes many people blush, so people have begun to use the term banker's hours to refer to a particularly comfortable and comfortable job.
He loves his job because he gets to work banker's hours.
He loves his job because it's comfortable and comfortable.
<h1>The Eleventh Hour Interpretation: The Last Minute
