Loose example of Valve Time from the Steam August 26 update news:
"Fans will remember that Blue Shift included a "High Definition Pack," a set of visually enhanced player and weapon models. We've had to iron out some technical wrinkles with how we deliver the HD Pack, but it will be made available through Steam within the next week or so."

Botris Time : A synonym of " valve time ".
It applies to any person who will claim "back in 5", "Give me 2 minutes.", "Just have a 'shower', back in 10.", or any other assorted activity and give a specific timescale.
But they don't. They take a much longer time and have a "wtf" moment when back.

The art of vertically defecating into a toilet in an unnecessarily furious manner. The act is performed stood up facing towards the toilet cistern whilst performing the traditional maori haka. A Knowlesy Time, if performed correctly, can provide a gigantic “mermaids kiss” to the gooch depending on the weight of the defecation.
Mate, Ken left the bathroom unlocked and I accidently walked in on him doing a Knowlesy Time. He was screaming his head off and there was shit all over the shop, it was sweet.
