My kids love using the phrase "hot minute" but they seem to use it for any purpose - short period of time, long period of time, etc. It's gotten to where I don't know exactly what they are trying to say.

So, I got bored and googled it, and it turns out, I'm not the only one questioning this. Apparently it used to be synonymous with NY minute, meaning short/quick, but now it's being used more to describe a long period of time.

So it occurred to me this morning while doing a few exercises that "hot minute" should go back to meaning short/quick, and we should start using the phrase "plank minute" to describe an impossibly long period of time. Because there is no way a minute only lasts 60 seconds while you are planking.
