Get the 69 Minutesmug. In middle and high school, Rush Minute is the several minutes in between classes when everyone is rushing to get to the next location.
Similar to how Rush Hour takes several hours, Rush Minute endures several minutes at a time.
Also compared to Rush Hour, Rush Minute is very crowded.

Get the rush minutemug. A unit of time that varies in length, in direct proportion to how drunk the person who just told you "In a minute" is, i.e. the drunker they are the longer it will be before they get to it.
Ben said he'd be here in a minute, but it's been half an hour. I guess he meant "in a drunk minute."
