New entry in the "Teen to English dictionary"
30 seconds - an inexact measurement of time which could be between 10 minutes and 2 hours.
@0x56 you get a whole 30 second estimate. I get 'just a sec' on repeat and it could mean 5 minutes to two days.
One time I was fed up. We need to leave somewhere and he calls down from upstairs. 'Just a sec!' and I was done, so I yelled back 'no, stop it, there will be no more secs in this house'
I realized how that sounds before it was all the way out of my mouth and I look at my wife who was about dying laughing so hard.

There is a dialect word for this in Cornwall: "Dreckly"
Literally "directly" but in practice it means "When I can be bothered or possibly never."
