I agree! Mid in midday meaning middle and the middle of the day is 12:00pm so yes the time would be 2pm TheBigAssSSBBW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyndoc Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 See I’ve always said “bring it forward” and “push it back” so with that language the former means earlier in time and vice versa for the latter. TheBigAssSSBBW and S77 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so interesting!! Lol in my head, bringing something forward would move it ahead. Like “come forward” you walk facing the front, not backwards. 😂😂🤯🤯 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same - so if original meeting is at 12pm, move it forward 2 hours means move it forward to 10am and move it back 2 hours means move it back to 2pm. Now that I analyze that more closely I could see where confusion may come in. Oddly enough I've never thought of it any other way.

FDHTR50 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I wonder if it has to do with regional slang/terminology. The way I see that term "move it forward" means to be earlier in the day, so 10am rather than after noon. TheBigAssSSBBW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffyButtLover919 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Pushing it back would make it later so moving it forward would make it earlier. If you push it back or push it off you are delaying it. If you move it up it is in front of others and makes it earlier. TheBigAssSSBBW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffyButtLover919 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Think of it as a line if you move forward you wait less time and it is earlier. If you are pushed back then you’re time is later. TheBigAssSSBBW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Submissivefeeder Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 So I've mostly been programmed this way with stupid work meetings. " We need to move the time for the meeting forward. You need to come in earlier" So many dumb meetings that could have been emails 😂 TheBigAssSSBBW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest That Jules Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I'd say 2pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curvage Model TheBigAssSSBBW CLIPS Posted May 23, 2022 Author Curvage Model Share Posted May 23, 2022 So interesting to see everyone’s perspective lol. I just keep thinking forward means moving past the original time- like when you spring forward you move from 10am to 11am. Falling back is going from 11 am to 10 am.

bishop2g4 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I've probably heard both, but I don't think I've ever heard a confusion so long as someone uses the right relative verb. If someone said (in reference to a noon meeting), "Let's bring it forward," I would interpret they wanted to hold the meeting sooner than it was scheduled as it is being brought closer to the present. If someone otherwise said, "Let's push it forward," I would interpret that they wanted to hold the meeting later than it was scheduled as it is being pushed further from the present. Though, in the latter case, the use of the word "forward" is odd and doesn't quite fit. TheBigAssSSBBW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know what you guys think the answer is lol 🧐 It would be 10 imo, forward to me has always been reversed, I’ll always say “ I’m busy rn let’s push it back till later” it’s kinda subjective so 🤷♂️ TheBigAssSSBBW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Bonehead Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 People tend to mean earlier in my experience. TheBigAssSSBBW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffyButtLover919 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I guess the best way to explain it maybe to say if you “push it back” you “push it away”. If you want to “move it forward” you “bring it closer” so 10 am is closer than noon and 2 pm is farther than noon. Another analogy, directing someone to move a couch. You would say to push it back if you want it farther away and move it forward if you want it closer or moved up. TheBigAssSSBBW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 10am! When we are referring to the future "forward" means earlier, closer to the present. When we are referring to the past, forward will be later in the time-line, closer to the present. So "forward" means decreasing a time differential, converging an event towards the present. Whereas, "back" would be increasing the time differential, diverging the event from the present.
