A white car (preferably an SUV) that has a shoddy paint job, unreliable indicator lights, a main operating unit that usually doesn’t let it go much over the speed limit (it takes 8 minutes to go what most people would go in 5) and has letters missing from its make and model labels.

When someone only has a number of available minutes during the week on their cell phone plan, so they don't answer their phone on peak time unless it's an emergency.
Girl 1: Did you call her yesterday?
Girl 2: Yes, but she didn't didn't answer; she's a minute conservative.

Refers to the insanely-frustrating act of asking an employee over the PA system to come and assist with something, only to then say, "never mind" a long while afterwards, when said frazzled employee has hastily "dropped everything" and speed-walked almost all the way up to the area where he was asked to present himself.
The last-minute paging-cancel is especially infuriating/draining if the responding employee has had to go through a lot of difficult preparation before heading to his requested locale, such as cleansing his extremely-soiled hands, changing into cleaner/neater attire, setting down a huge armload of items, powering off a complicated piece of equipment, etc.

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.

Person 1: are you ready yet?
Person 2: almost, I’ll be ready in 59 seconds.
Person 1: you fool, you could have just said you’d be ready in one military minute.
Person 2: you’re right, that’s such a practical and useful denomination of time.
