Canadian Minute

A minute to a Canadian that is incredibly longer than any other minute in the world.

We needed to meet Danny in 45 minutes but he took a Canadian minute to get ready, so we were late.

this is your life and it is ending one minute at a time

Catch-phrase from Chuck Palahniuk's breakthrough novel Fight Club, and the David Fincher movie based on it. This is your life and it is ending one minute at a time. Reminder of mortality, prod in the back to go out and do something with yourself.

This is your life and it is ending one minute at a time, boy.

3 Minute Rule

Simply put, this rule states that a person must listen to a conversation for 3 minutes before asking any questions. This allows the originators of the conversation to continue normally without having to reiterate points already covered and keeps the listener from looking like an idiot. It is invoked by the originators of a conversation should a third party ask a question which makes it clear that they haven't been listening.

Phil: So it turns out that tree in my backyard has a disease. We're gonna have to cut it down.

Jake: Oh yeah? That can get expensive.

Phil: Yeah, but I know a guy who knows a guy. College roommates. Now that I think about it, you've never met him. We should all get together and go bowling.

Jake: I love bowling. That reminds me-

Gary: Hey guys, what's up? Phil, did you ever find out about that tree?

Phil: 3 minute rule, Gary.

20 Minute Snooze

A young, attractive male has been partying like a mother fucker for the past 2 weeks. The only time he takes off for partying is to go out for a nice big dinner. Then he proceeds to tell everyone that he has gotten only 20 minutes of sleep the past week and he needs his rest. The group then calls his ass out on it and calls him a bull-shitter. Shortly after this, he will end up clubbing for the 15th straight night.

Dis: Yo man I doubt I'm going out tonight
Nasir: Why man it's friday?
Dis: I know man it's a great night for clubbin but I only experiences the 20 minute snooze last night.
Nasir: O dude that blows, u must have had a crazy night of clubbin
Dis: Naw man I hated it and there was an incident so I had to blow off some steam.

A very fast minute. You use this saying when you'll be back, or have something done, really quick.
