It's a North-east US thing, that means the opposite: quarter of is equivalent to quarter to... but MA and NH are the only places I've heard it used.

I could probably locate some artifacts of your culture which I found silly, but I think I'd hesitate before labelling them so publicly.

Please do! Silly cultural references are great fun :D

Humans are silly creatures. And if you define a culture that doesn't involve anything silly as being as silly concept, then by definition all cultures are silly!

(Two quick notes: 1) I don't mean silly in a mean way. Silly is often good. 2) I've been coding on little sleep all day, and getting a little punchy. Not that that excuses any behaviour, just explaining that my intent is not to be offensive)
