Past Minute

Just after the deadline. Usually close enough for "one last" edit, change, addition etc.

Boss "Did you send those files"
Peon1 "Yes, the deadline was 5 minutes ago..."
Boss "Well, pull those back, there's one quick change"
....
Peon1 to Peon2 "Can you hold that, I've got a past minute change to make."

Microsoft Minute

A seemingly random period of time required for a (Microsoft) computer system to recognize changes made and begin working properly. This phrase is most commonly associated with Active Directory (Windows Server) applications.

"I just changed your password on the server, so in 15 Microsoft minutes you should be able to log on. If it still doesn't work after 15 minutes wait another hour and it should work then."
