Chime-time

Is when a thief moves past chimes with speed or energy fast enough such that the chimes play a quick tune and then go silent. Could also be a thief in and out, no delays, and moving thru whatever is in their way including the chimes.

When Mama said the babies were hungry and their was no food or money, Papa knew it was chime-time.

Crime Time

This isn't any specific time, it's a 24/7 way of life. It means to go so hard that it must be considered a crime. Used to describe a noun. Probably the dopest motto known to man kind. Can also be used in a hashtag. Therefore it is a saying, or a motto.

"Hey bro, what do you wanna do today?"
"Let's lift, I'm tryna get swole. Let's go Crime Time. #CrimeTime"
"Damn bro, you must really wanna go hard."

crime time

Crime time is all the time. It is a phrase used for when you feel it is time for some crimes.

“Hey, wanna go commit arson at the 7-11 with me?”
“Sure! It’s crime time babyyy!”
(these two people probably proceed to get married because arson is a bonding experience)

Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time.

A "hip" expression of the 1960's-70's that advises you not to do something risky unless you are willing and able to accept the full weight of the consequences.

Ironically popularized by the theme song to the TV show "Baretta" starring Robert Blake.

Fred: "I'm losing my license for drunk driving..."

Charlie: "Quit complaining! You know what they tell you: 'don't do the crime if you can't do the time!'"
