"What Time Is It? (album) What Time Is It? is a 1982 album by The Time. The album was recorded at Sunset Sound and Prince's home studio in the Minneapolis suburbs. The title of the album comes from an exclamation by Morris Day that became associated with the band's on-stage theatrics, appearing frequently on the band's debut album as well. Showcasing a denser and more inventive Minneapolis sound, ""What Time Is It?"" produced three singles: ""777-9311"", ""The Walk"" and ""Gigolos Get Lonely Too"".

"in error. Under standard heraldry terms, ""passant"" means a ""walking"" animal (three legs on the ground, one leg up), while ""dormant"" means a ""sleeping"" animal.

"Attitude (heraldry) In heraldry, an attitude is the ""position"" in which an animal, bird, fish, human or human-like being is emblazoned as a charge, supporter or crest. Many attitudes apply only to predatory beasts and are exemplified by the beast most frequently found in heraldry—the lion. Some other terms apply only to docile animals, such as the doe (usually blazoned as ""hind""). Other attitudes, such as ""volant"", describe the positions of birds, mostly exemplified by the bird most frequently found in heraldry—the eagle. The term ""naiant"" (swimming), however, is usually reserved for fish but may also apply to swans, ducks"

A beast sejant or sejeant (Middle French: ""seant"", ""sitting"") sits on his haunches, with both forepaws on the ground. A beast sejant erect is seated on its haunches, but with its body erect and both forepaws raised in the ""rampant"" position (this is sometimes termed ""sejant-rampant"").

This term is reserved to winged quadrupeds (such as griffins and dragons). Creatures combatant are shown in profile facing each other in the ""rampant"" or ""segreant"" position, always paired and never appearing singly.

Certain smaller animals are sometimes blazoned as saltant rather than salient. A beast statant (Old French: ""standing"") is ""standing"" (in profile toward dexter), all four feet on the ground, usually with the forepaws together.

These adjectives follow any other adjectives of position. A lion (or other beast) ""coward"" carries the tail between its hind legs. The tail also may be knotted (""nowed""), forked (""queue fourchée""), doubled (""double-queued""; as in the arms of the kingdom of Bohemia), or cut off (""defamed"").

"on heraldry, a late-13th or early-14th century Anglo-Norman manuscript titled ""De Heraudrie"", mentions the crow, eagle, griffin, heron, leopard, lion, martlet, popinjay, and swan. Citing Bado Aureo, the ""Oxford Guide"" further suggests that the leopard, said to be ""borne of an adulterous union between a lioness and a pard,"" and like a mule incapable of reproducing, may be an appropriate charge for a person born of adultery or barred from reproducing (such as an abbot). As a general rule, English heralds tend to identify ""lions"" as rampant (upright, in profile facing dexter), and ""leopards"" as passant guardant (walking, head turned"

"Fish often appear ""naiant"" (swimming horizontally) or ""hauriant"" (upwards) or ""urinant"" (downwards), but may also appear ""addorsed"" (two fish hauriant, back to back). Serpents may appear ""glissant"" (gliding in a wavy form) or ""nowed"" (as a figure-eight knot). Griffins and quadrupedal dragons constantly appear ""segreant"" (""i.e."" rampant with wings addorsed and elevated) and, together with lions, may appear ""combatant"" (""i.e."" two of them turned to face each other in the rampant position).

The blazon, or heraldic description, usually states whether an animal's head is couped (as if cut off cleanly at the neck), erased (as if forcibly ripped from the body), or cabossed (turned affronté without any of the neck showing).
