ish time

The time zone used for uncertainty. If Ish is added to the end of a duration, the duration can be altered however the user wishes. Ish time is mainly used by lazy and forgetful giveaway hosts on Twitter like Ayenzie (@gaws247, aka @musicbyanz).

Why is this giveaway not drawn?
"It's running on Ish time"

In-text examples:

Ends in 2 hours-ish

Ends when I wake up-ish

Ayenzie-ish

Nate-ish

Nate-ish is the practice of being very late to Jiu-Jitsu class or open mat after one makes continued promises that they will be on time. Often, the individual will promise numerous different people that they will be on time for class, only to walk in at least 45 minutes late. This individual will also be wearing flip-flops no matter how cold it is outside and will always greet you with a chin pop you as your eyes meet.

That guy missed warm ups, also missed the lesson and only came in for the last 10 minutes of sparring after he promised he would be to class on time. Truly Nate-ish.

Around lunch-ish dude, duh.
