Security Age

The modern era, in which people in a variety of settings are given extra scrutiny to determine if they are truthful about their identity and their rights which they assert, the world has increased amounts of monitoring, and big brother has an overall more watchful eye.

Unofficially, the Security Age began on September 11, 2001.
Everyone is considered suspicious until proven not a terrorist in the Security Age.

Many things that were easy before the Security Age began are now a hassle.

During the Security Age, only ticketed passengers are allowed passed security checkpoints at the airport.

You go to a dry cleaner during the Security Age wanting to retrieve your clothes you dropped off, and the attendant says "ID please."

pinch

Evict.

Refers specifically to eviction from rented residential property for failing to pay rent.

Occasionally, landlords will warn their tenants who are behind on rent with this euphemistic term.
The landlord is going to "pinch" the tenant for not paying rent.

During the recession, lots of people cannot afford their rent, so they are being "pinched."

He is behind on his rent; therefore, he is facing "pinching."

According to some interpretations, the song "Pinch Me" by the "Barenaked Ladies" uses this term with this meaning. The narrarator is unemployed and cannot pay his rent, and he is resigning himself to his inevitable fate of homelessness.

Jewish time

Not perfectly on time; possibly somewhat late, but no harm is done as a result. The implication is that there is no need to be exactly on time, and starting a little late is acceptable.

The term comes from Jewish culture, which is often relaxed about punctuality.

When an event is schedule to take place at 2:00 Jewish time, it could be at 2:05, 2:12, 2:15, or even 2:35, and everyone is satisfied.
The wedding will start at 6:00 PM Jewish time.

We will meet in the lobby at 4:30 Jewish time.
