A unit of time. Useful in many different circumstances.
Man getting ready for a date: 3 seconds
Woman getting ready for a date: 45 minutes
Time for which it takes your friend to leave the
house: 3 minutes
A historical event (a moment in time): depends if it is the sinking of the
titanic (hours), impact of fat man (.01 milliseconds)
Interval of time it takes to complete
computer repairs in a movie: 2.45 seconds (always followed by the word “there”)
A threat:
16 seconds give or take a few.
Well hell, a unit of time it takes to do anything. All you have to say is “in a moment” and they (friends/family/gun toting villains) have to wait until your done. Except if you get shot cus that would
suck, but at least it’ll only take a moment.
