the po in boston that give u parking tickets or tow ur car b/c theyre to the minute... a play off the minutemen soldiers that were in the boston area back in the day.
You better put more quah(r)ters in the meter or the minutemen will get your cah(r).
Term for a volunteer soldier in the American Revolution, who were supposed to be ready to fight against the British at a minute's notice. These were often nothing more than farmers that happened to have a gun or two lying around.
Let us not confuse "minuteman," a man who quickly goes off to be a soldier, with minute man, a man whose soldier goes off too quickly.
