A ten-minute club is an inside joke or activity; the "club" part does not refer to the people included in the inside joke.
Immature and easily excited children will usually start one of these. For example, say you and a few of your neighbors decide to sneak up on your parents. You all "are in this together", and come up with secret signals and codes. The youngest neighbor becomes excited, from the being with older kids and being included, so starts a "ten-minute club". These younger children will usually bring it up later, long after when it was fun or up-to-date. Note: Also called "five-minute clubs"

When a person intentionally self degrades or humiliates themself in order to make them the center of attention temporarily; often derived from a root to fuel a certain sense of narcism.
However the 40 Minute Effect is different from a degradation kink, wherein the person in question receives no sexual stimulation from the humiliation, only a sense of importance.

"Oh my God, look at me! I'm such a horrible dancer! I can't even boogie right!"
"Oh wow man you're right, you're such a horrible dancer. I hate those dance moves. Wait a second? Are you pulling a 40 Minute Effect?"
"Yeah man, sorry."

The five-third minute is a common unit of time used in physics and engineering that is equivalent to 100 seconds. It was adopted due to its accordance with the SI (metric) units and prefixes, which are based on powers of ten.
For t = 20.0, what is the average magnetic flux density through the cylinder of the generator? (the five-third minute is the implied unit of time because it is a physical application).
