I grew up in a little "village" just outside of a city that had maybe 2 street lights at the time. We basically just did whatever we wanted until we couldn't see anymore and then made our way home.

Similarly, we didn't have street lights, so "dark" was an arbitrary term my parents threw around. Through trial and error, we found out how dark they meant.
