uber minute

Any time someone/something says it'll take a minute, but it takes closer to 10. (Like in the Uber app, when it says the car is a minute away, but the driver shows up 10 minutes later.)

I'll be at the bar in an uber minute.

A few minutes

Defined by Microsoft to mean hours and hours of waiting, or a small period of time after you need it done.

Still hate Apple though.

minute buster

The amount of time wasted in meetings when fellow attendees ask stupid questions, or bluster on for minutes about things that no one cares about.

McIlwain Minute

A period of time falling between a Mexican Minute (about 5 minutes) and a Jones Minute (about half an hour).

Nick came up with the idea of meeting at the bar at 6:45, but he was a McIlwain Minute late, even though he lived a minute away.

Football Minute

A period of time described as one minute that will actually become several times longer, especially if due to frequent interruptions. Antonym: New York minute

Dude, you said you'd be here in a New York minute. That was like fifteen minutes ago. More like a football minute.
