Time sink 

Something that takes a lot of your time and effort in order to be completed. Fequently used in MMORPGS to make customers play longer, thus making them pay more. Time sinks are very, very, very, very, very bad.

DAOC or Dark Age of Camelot is the king of the time sink.
I have been trying to level this artifact for the past 10 years. I love this time sink.

metric time 

A system of time with the base measurement of a metric second which is equal to 1/100,000 of a day. There are 100 seconds to a minute, 100 minutes to an hour, and ten hours to a day. So 1 metric hour is equivalent to 2 hrs. 24 min. regular time. So when it is 5.00 metric time it is noon regular time. Midnight on Metric Time starts at 0.00 hrs and runs up to 9.99 hrs. To convert from metric time to regular time take for example 5.85 metric time and multiply by 2.4 which equals the hour with a decimal. Take the decimal and multiply it by 60 to get the minutes in regular time. If you want PM just subtract 12. So 5.85 Metric Time = 14:04 or 2:04 PM.
Ever since Metric Time was established, no one ever gets confused with AM nor PM.

John was meeting his girlfriend for lunch at 5.22 Metric Time.

The incident took place at 2.68.

Maybe some other time

The current most popular way to brush someone off; in other words to mean "no fucking way".

Originates from the "I have to wash my hair..." excuse, and similar to the "maybe later" brush-off.
Dave: Hey Susan, so do wanna get a drink next Saturday?
Susan: Umm... maybe some other time...
Dave: Oh, okay...

Timehole 

A timehole is any place that time seems to pass by at a dramatically increased speed. Some say that the increase in speed is directly proportional to the deadlines one has.
The first timehole was discovered by a young girl in Surrey England named Alice who died of lupus after coming out of the timehole. Timeholes have known to become mobile encapsulting around the office dullard.
I went into Zack's office at 8 am for a five minute meeting, and left at 12:30pm; I fell into a timehole.


How long will you be?
I am not sure I am stuck in a timehole .

Ron wants to see me, but I don't want to go. I don't have any time to go into a timehole.

Timecest 

A fanmade pairing that was made for Wilbur and Lewis Robinson, the two main characters from the Disney Meet the Robinsons. Some fans ship it because of its ubber cuteness, and don't really mind the fact that Lewis is Wilbur's future father. Others ship the pairing, avoiding the fact of the two's kinship.

It is called timecest because some believe that as long as the story takes place in the past, Wilbur and Lewis are not technicly related due to the fact the Wilbur has yet to be born.
"Timecest is so cute!"

"I drew another timecest comic last night."
