The time difference from your chosen time zone (BST, EST, ECT. etc) to the one being used by a terrible time keeper. Usually meaning they will vastly underestimate the time they need to complete a task or overestimate how fast they can travel somewhere, making them the constant reason for delays in planning and execution of group activities.

Get the McCarthy Standard Time mug.Pulled a McCarthy
Sounds Like- muh·kaar·thee
The political practice of buying one's political position by marginalizing opponents and forcing the vote until the aggressor gets what they want, regardless of the opposition they are meet with. This is kind of act is a quintessential example of an entitled, out of touch elitist.

Did you see how the Speaker of the House Pulled A McCarthy; it only took 4 re-votes to legitimately steel the third most powerful position in U.S. politics.

Get the McCarthy mug.A common refrain among Republicans right after Trump staged the Insurrection, as Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy headed down to kiss Trump’s golden ass after he courageously but impulsively ‘dissed’ him and then quickly realized he’d set himself up for having his entire political life go down the drain (which happened anyway).
It was definitely “McCarthy to the rescue!” happening when Kevin uttered the insipid statement, “Well you know, Donald is said to be not eating and he is very depressed.”

Get the Chrystal McCarthy mug.The likely result of the 2011 and early 2012 PIPA (Protect IP Act) and SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) legislation. The initial formation of these documents, bankrolled by the MPAA and RIAA industry giants, was intended to stop piracy in yet another venue: online. The laws were written in such a broad way, and with such ineffective methodology (DNS blocking), that the impact of the laws on actual piracy would be minimal. Instead, the laws provide for action based on accusation, rather than due process. A website merely has to be reported as having copyrighted material, and the action to shut it down goes into effect - with proof of actual wrongdoing not required.
The likelihood of this being abused is high. The effects are bound to be staggering, especially on the smaller organizations whose websites are their storefronts. Stifling political action, information sharing, and more... based on accusation alone, just like McCarthyism in the 1950s.
