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.”

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.

Military Minute

A denomination of time equal to 59 regular seconds.

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.
