time out, time out

A game played by youngsters to take claim of items that belong to someone else. You call "time out, time out" while touching something that belongs to someone else and that makes it yours for the taking. You can also call a preemptive "time out, time out" to protect your belongings. Note: food is most often the desired object in this game as other items are too expensive or valuable to be subject to such silly child's play.
Billy, Ray Ray, and Tommy are in the lunch line at their middle school. Pizza is being served that day and everyone loves pizza.

The cafeteria lady places a piece of pizza on Billy's tray. Ray Ray sees the golden opportunity and he reaches over to touch Billy's slice of pizza while saying "time out, time out." Billy now has to give up his pizza to Ray Ray.

Tommy sees the above take place so as soon as the cafeteria lady puts a slice of pizza on his tray, he touches his pizza and calls a preemptive "time out, time out" to prevent anyone from claiming his pizza.

time out

An action taken by one friend towards another after being provoked past that individual's threshold or tolerance for annoyance, disagreement, or disrespect towards him/her. An Italian often has a much lower than normal tolerance for aggravation, and will prompt a "time out" by saying "Are you f---ing serious right now bro'?" or "How you gonna come off like that to me?". He will then place the friend (sometimes ex-friend) on "time out" for an indefinite time period, not talking, calling, nor returning phone calls. In extreme cases, the melancholy time-out-ee will try anything to get back together with his/her friend. The exchange of online, often sentimental, greeting cards are a popular option.
