- 1Plural of midnight.
They worked through countless midnights to meet the deadline.
The poem dwells on cold midnights spent alone beside the fire.
Note
A plural that only the countable uses of midnight can make. For the hour itself, midnight usually goes uncountable (we meet at midnight, not at a midnight), so the plural counts separate nights: long midnights of work, cold midnights alone. It can also count rolls of a pair of sixes, the dice sense shared with boxcars. The poetic adjective meaning "utterly dark" never takes this form.
