at this time 

"at this time" is what you hear when someone at Publix is politely telling you NO. There is never going to be a future time, so deal with it.

"Printed and digital coupons are not redeemable through Instacart at this time." "We are not able to issue rain checks for out of stock products at this time." "Hi John, we do not have any information on this at this time."

We needed the rain at this time 

Da classic bu**s**t remark dat people use to try to make each other feel better regarding an unforeseen/inconvenient downpour.

Everyone's lawns and gardens were flourishing just dandy before today's torrential downpour, so why is everyone telling each other, "We needed the rain at this time"?! Who needs drenched muddy sidewalks and huge messy puddles all over town???

I am currently muted at this time! 

The person saying this is typically muted and probably for a good/bad reason, this is why they are not saying Good Job! or Welcome! If they are saying this, they are probably using a command to say this and want to be unmuted.

at this moment in time 

Otherwise known as 'now'. This is the worst current example of over fancy pontificating verbage and is used whenever the use of the single simple word 'NOW' would suffice. Why do they use 5 words when one will do?

At this moment in time, it's Wednesday.

The project may be finished by tomorrow, but at this moment in time I can't see it being completed till next month.

This one time at band camp

A phrase (originally came from American Pie 2) used to start off the description of any random, usually kinky or otherwise appalling sexual act. Typically somehow connected with band, but can be entirely random, also.

"This one time at band camp, I sodomized a drumstick."

This one time, at band camp 

Michelle from American Pie always talks about band camp.

"This one time, at band camp, they told us not to have a pillow fight, but we did, and it was so much fun!
