What is gimme a second?
A commonly used phrase uttered by young children, usually as a response to a parent's request.
Can be very misleading, as the aforementioned second may be upwards of 2 hours long.
"Timmy, you said you'd take out the trash an hour ago."
"gimme a second!"
(several hours later)
"Timmy, it's been longer than a second."
"gimme a second!"
