five minutes 

The best response to temporarily put off, or get out of, nearly anything. Most effective when combined with the terms "Like" or "About." Contains many useful applications:

1) Buying time

2) Fooling the other person into thinking you will do something when you actually have no intention to, and hoping they forget

3) Using it multiple times until the desired effect is achieved

(see below)

ex1) "Hey son, would you pause that game and clean your room for me?"
"Sure. Just gimme like five minutes."

ex2) "It's your birthday today? Of course I know...hey I'll be over in about 5 minutes and we'll hang out." (unsuspected birthday gift card run to the supermarket, as if you actually remembered)

ex3) "Good morning honey, time to get up for work."

"MMMyeah...in Five minutes."

(One hour later)

"Hey it's been an hour--get up already!!"

"Alright, alright.....in five minutes."

Five minutes to get rid of it 

An exclamation proclaimed after a gullible person falls victim to an exclamation such as "Hey -insert name here-". If they answer with the word "What", then they have five minutes to get someone else to say the word...if they don't...they explode.

Hey Joe guess what!
What?
Five minutes to get rid of it!
Dangit...uh...hey fred!
Yes?
NO!
