second

A length of time that is very-under-exaggerated.

<Killer> Hey there.
<Spiller> Hi, I'll be back in a second.
<Killer> Okay.
*** 20 minutes later ***
<Killer> ...
<Spiller> I'm back.
<Killer> Where were you?
<Spiller> Hang on, back in a second.
*** Killer is offline ***

second

An indefinite period of time, usually assumed by the listener to be at least 2-3 minutes in length. Speakers use it to affirm that the time will be short without any actual meaning or elaboration, despite the fact that the period will likely be more than 120 times longer than stated (see above).

Person #1: Are you done yet?
Person #2: Yeah, it'll just take a second.

-5 minutes later-

Person #1: *visibly impatient* Okay, are you done now?

Person #2: I said, it'll be a second! Geez, some people.
