That's actually my point. Natives know "lunch" is wrong, but they call it that anyway. I don't have any experience with midnight crews in Japan, but I would default to using vocabulary as if we were a daytime crew just like I do with English.
Does your native language not do this? ...was it Italian? I forgot. :/
