Chaldean Minute

The act of telling someone or something one timeframe - and not delivering or showing up at least 3 times the given amount.

Chaldeans are notorious for underestimating time.

Steve: "Hey guys I am going to boof before our next game, give me 10 minutes"
Brycen: "I guess we have to wait 30 minutes for this guy... Chaldean Minute."

you: *assumes they ain’t gonna turn at the next one*
driver in front: *suddenly slows down and turns on blinker right as they turn*
you: “fucking hell, okay last-minute lisa”

Michael Minute

Definition: A unit of time used sarcastically to describe when someone says “I’ll be there in a minute,” but actually takes an absurdly long time—usually anywhere from 10 minutes to over an hour or more.

A Michael Minute = 60 human minutes (minimum).

Examples:

“He said he’d join the game in a minute. It’s been 45. Classic Michael Minute.”

“When he says he’s leaving in a Michael Minute, go ahead and start a movie.”

"Be right there in a Michael Minute = see you next week."

last-minute-zoom-link-fetching-anxiety-disorder

I have a zoom meeting coming up so I saved the link and I was so certain I would effortlessly find it again in my email so I didn't bother to check for it until the very last minute before the meeting and suddenly I realize that I am going to miss the meeting and freak out and have a meltdown.

I was desperately trying to find the info on the VIP meeting I had this week, but couldn't find it anywhere. Since then, I have had this bizarre last-minute-zoom-link-fetching-anxiety-disorder.
