Cautious Politician Time. When a friend of a candidate for the presidency makes a racist comment while the candidate stands next to them and, instead of saying "That's not cool, Bill," later "clarifies" the comment by inventing a definition that nobody in the history of anything has ever used.
Hillary Clinton: Thanks for the endorsement, Bill. Took you long enough.
Bill deBlasio: Sorry, Hillary. I was running on CP Time.

Hillary Clinton: CP Time actually stands for cautious politician time, not colored people time.
Bill deBlasio: Sorry, Hillary. I was running on CP Time.
