A unit of time. Useful in many different circumstances.
Man getting ready for a date: 3 seconds
Woman getting ready for a date: 45 minutes
Time for which it takes your friend to leave the house: 3 minutes
A historical event (a moment in time): depends if it is the sinking of the titanic (hours), impact of fat man (.01 milliseconds)
Interval of time it takes to complete computer repairs in a movie: 2.45 seconds (always followed by the word “there”)
A threat: 16 seconds give or take a few.
Well hell, a unit of time it takes to do anything. All you have to say is “in a moment” and they (friends/family/gun toting villains) have to wait until your done. Except if you get shot cus that would suck, but at least it’ll only take a moment.

A silent moment between two people (either gender, hetrosexual, homosexual, or bi-sexual) in which prolonged eye contact is made and initial feelings of attraction are felt. Often referred to simply as a "moment."
In the Mexican (2001, Dreamworks), Samantha (Julia Roberts) is in a diner with Winston(James Gandolfini), whom Samantha believes to be Leroy, and as they have a discussion, Winston gazes up and looks across the diner and makes prolonged eye-contact with another man, pauses, and then resumes his conversation with Samantha:
Samantha- What was that?
Winston-What?
Samantha-That. That moment you had.
Winston-What moment?
Samantha-Leroy, you just checked out that guy and had a moment.
Samantha-That was a moment.
Winston-I don't know if it was a moment.
Samantha-(Are you gay?)
Winston-- As in happy?
Samantha- As in homosexual.
Samantha- What was that?
Winston-What?
Samantha-That. That moment you had.

Samantha-Leroy, you just checked out that guy and had a moment.
Samantha-That was a moment.
Winston-I don't know if it was a moment.

Term used to describe someone who lives in the "moment". Perhaps a long lost relative of "the Situation". And most certainly a regular to the Jersey Shore.
The Moment: "Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was this guy!"
On-looker: "Wow...that is another classic by The Moment!"
