The amount of time before which certain individuals who have asked a dumb or inconsequential question will have either found the answer on his own, or have realized it wasn't worth asking.
Certain people are more susceptible to this rule than others. It's rare that they'll still be curious after 60 seconds have passed. Most of the time, ignoring their question does the trick.

Trump’s second term: full abuse mode. The Orange Führer returns with no brakes, rage-posting executive orders from the golf cart. Cabinet meetings are held over shrimp cocktails at Mar-a-Lago with foreign leaders, megadonors, and Truth Social trolls. Loyalty is law, facts are fake, and the Constitution’s just background noise.
Putin’s thrilled—gearing up to con America again while Trump signs autographs on classified docs.

In the Second AmeriReich, Trump’s back in the candy store—this time with barbed wire around it, a yearly membership fee, and zero refunds. He eats the inventory, blames the cashier, and waddles off with the spoils.

Second bestness is when you know you are not the first choice if somebody asks you to be someone (wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend) or to do something (i.e. become the boss). You know that someone else was first choice and altough you accept the offer, it rankles and stays wth you forever, turning you into a bitter, overbearing person.
"I think Mum's feeling of second bestness is why she's always so horrible to me - knows Dad wanted to or should have married someone else."
