Real People Time (RPT)

Commonly referred to as EST or East Standard Time, RPT (Real People Time) is the authority in time zones. It is the benchmark for Television, Sports and business/financial time references, and is thus the most important time zone in the world.
-- Yo, what time does the Broncos game start tomorrow?
-- 3:00 PM, I think
-- In Real People Time (RPT), please.
-- 5:00 PM then.

borrowed time

If you survive some situation where you would have otherwise did were it not for some miracle of God then your entire life after that point is said to be borrowed time.
A man walks across a street without looking both ways when he accidently steps on a bottle, that happened to be rolling by, and falls straight down. Exactly half a speeding truck passes in front of him, only missing by inches. This man is living on borrowed time because if it hadn't been for the bottle rolling by at that exact moment he would have been smashed like a caterpillar eating your grandmas favorite rose bush.

emotional time bomb 

Someone who keeps to themselves but listen to everyone else's problems. On the outside, this person is quiet but cautious. On the inside, this person is dealing with conflicts (feeling lonely, unappreciated, worthless, etc). This person never let's people in, so expressing any feelings is uncomfortable. Once in a while, this "time bomb" has no more room for emotions, exploding into anger and tears from frustration.
"Susan won't let anyone in. She's bound to explode like an emotional time bomb if she keeps everything inside like this."

Time barrier

Noun: the theoretical limit of real-time velocity in the known universe, at which point positive time halts, and the mass of any object traveling at that speed become infinite and incapable of any increase in velocity.
"In 1994, Dr. Miguel Alcubierre formulated a hypothetical propulsion system that could, in theory, break the time barrier."
