10 minutes

10 minutes is a measurement of time arbitrarily speaking. But its become the yardstick for how serious, or time intensive an activity can be me. For instance, 'she will be ready in 10 more minutes.' That can mean she has already taken too long and 10 more minutes is really 25 minutes. Or it can mean 10 minutes which is a very small amount of time. What I'm getting at is girls take too long to get ready!!
