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.
