Rosie minute

A unit used when measuring time, deceivingly longer than an actual minute. Used to trick people into believing something will end shortly (ie. a minute) in order to get you to complete a task, yet often takes 2-3 times longer.

Bruce: I was ploughing away for ages so I asked her if she was about to come, and she said 'in a minute.'
Sean: How much longer did it take?
Bruce: About two more Taylor Swift songs.
Sean: More like a Rosie minute then.

Minute

A way of saying a long time has passed, especially when you feel a bit embarrassed it’s been so long, because deep down you know you should have done it sooner.

“When’s the last time you worked out?”

“It’s been a minute.”

joe-minute

A unit of time that is stretched and is usually more like 75 or 80 seconds because some people like to under-estimate time to make you do stuff for longer.

"Dude! That was a joe-minute! You need a new watch!"
