Michigan time

A former scheduling system at the University of Michigan, where classes scheduled to start on the hour actually started at :10 past. A source of much confusion.

Now, just a fancy, outdated way of saying "10 minutes late," with the implication that you've lived in the hellhole that is Ann Arbor for a while.
When Sally missed her flight by 10 minutes, she realized that the real world did not run on Michigan time.
