real time

The subjective experience of time passing confirmed as about right by external, objective measuring criteria ie an hour feels about like an hour, and this is confirmed by looking at a clock, where an hour has indeed been measured as having passed. As opposed to (e-time), where time seems to pass at a quicker or slower rate than external measuring systems would suggest.
1. I had an hour real time left at work - and it passed in exactly an hour on the clock.
2. It seemed I'd only been online a few minutes real time, but when I looked at the clock it had been three hours.

real time chump

A derogatory name for a person watching an episodic series during the actual time during which each episode is released to the public.
Matthew and Angelica are real time chumps; I much prefer watching a show after it's conclusion to being left hanging and glued to the TV every week like they are.

I was the biggest real time chump when the series Lost was being aired for the first time on ABC in the '00s.

OMG OMG OMG! Addicted to the new season of The Bachelor #realtimechump

Between Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, I'm no longer a real time chump but then again, I can't discuss any of the shows currently airing either. #firstworldproblems

Real Time with Bill Maher

The HBO original Television series with political Commentator and comedian, Bill Maher.

In 2002 Maher was the subject of controversy when on his original "Politically Incorrect's September 17 show, had guest Dinesh D'Souza disputing the Bush's label of calling the 9-11 terrorists, "Cowards". She said the terrorists were warriors. Maher agreed and replied "We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly".

His show was canceled on ABC and Real Time premiered on HBO on February 21, 2003
Bill Maher out lasted President Bush when his show "Real Time with Bill Maher" was picked up for another season in 2009.
