Jewish time

Not perfectly on time; possibly somewhat late, but no harm is done as a result. The implication is that there is no need to be exactly on time, and starting a little late is acceptable.

The term comes from Jewish culture, which is often relaxed about punctuality.

When an event is schedule to take place at 2:00 Jewish time, it could be at 2:05, 2:12, 2:15, or even 2:35, and everyone is satisfied.
The wedding will start at 6:00 PM Jewish time.

We will meet in the lobby at 4:30 Jewish time.

Jewish Guillotine

When an uncircumcised man is receiving oral sex, and his partner becomes startled, causing them to bite down and cleave his foreskin, leaving behind a perfectly circumcised penis and a newly Orthodox Jew.
