An amount of time longer than a second and a lot longer than a sec, but shorter than a hot second and a lot shorter than a minute. I'd say it's usually about 3 and 1/2 seconds.

Ricky: "You know what they say...hot sec place is...well...probably about the 1 and 1/3 th loser. Loser."

Referring to the length of time. It's been awhile since you've done something or seen someone, but not as long as saying "it's been a hot minute."
It's been a hot second since I've had Del Taco.
