10 minutes

a term used when speaking on the telephone in a public place to communicate to the party on the other side of the conversation that you are uncomfortable speaking because someone else is able to hear your part of the conversation

although "10 minutes" represents one user's chosen term, each couple must come up with their own phrase that is sufficiently commonplace to not raise suspicions when potentially used frequently
Girlfriend (on other end of phone): "Are you trying to tell me you don't feel the same about me? I don't get it."

You (on phone): "No, that's not at all what I'm saying."

Girlfriend: "You're acting very weird, there must be something else. Did you sleep with someone else?"

You: "Oh, I'd say in about 10 minutes."

Every 15 Minutes

A program used in high schools across America to promote the dangers of drinking and driving. It is usually held a few days prior to the school Prom and close to Graduation because teenagers tend to drink during those time periods because of all the parties.

Apple Minutes

While installing Mac OS X Leopard on my Mac, I was excited to find it was only going to take another 34 minutes. Little did I know that it was 34 apple minutes and hours later I was still waiting.
