tico time

This phrase is used to describe the nonchalant attitude Costa Rican's (Tico's) have about being (not) on time. This practice is especially annoying to North American travelers and ex-patriots who are used to being precisely on time or even early for appointments/events.
I thought we were starting at 9, looks like everyone around here is on tico time.
