A phrase presumably used to mean "recent past." This is a phrase that has been around for a very long time (at least since the 1920's or 30's, probably longer) but is such an underwhelming turn of phrase that comes off as simultaneously pompous and pretentious, that in the year 2023 no one has yet bothered to even enter it into Wiktionary or any other online dictionary. So its time has come, and it is now being entered into one of the greatest dictionaries to grace humanity with its presence. :-)

Get the past periodmug. A new name for Facebook, now that it consists mainly of "shared" articles or YouTube clips that are just pasted in, and very little original material.
Originated in a mishearing, my husband said Facebook but I thought he was being witty by referring to it as Pastebook or paste-book, since we had recently noted that most of the material there is just repostings.
