CPT stands for "Callin' People Time" and it's that moment, roughly 30-45 minutes after getting off the phone with your friend who said he'd be there in 5, when you think enough time has passed to start calling and seeing what's up.
"Yo man, where's your boy at? Thought he'd be here like an hour ago."
