ry commented on the word hot minute
slang. A very long time. Not to be confused with a hot second, which is a very short time.

bilby commented on the word hot minute
What about a hot hour then? Long or short?
This somewhat reminds me of Italian oretta which is a diminuitive of ora, hour. So, a 'little hour' would seem like less than an hour, but in Italian time often ends up being more :-/
