Copious Free Time

copious free time (n.): [used ironically to indicate the speaker's lack of the quantity in question] A mythical schedule slot for accomplishing tasks held to be unlikely or impossible. Sometimes used to indicate that the speaker is interested in accomplishing the task, but believes that the opportunity will not arise. "I'll implement the automatic layout stuff in my copious free time."

[reading: Robert Harris, "The Ghost"; recently Warren Ellis, "Crécy", John Scalzi, "The Last Colony", Garth Ennis, "The Boys: The Name of the Game", Garth Ennis, "The Boys: Get Some"]

It's that day again.

Time: 2:47 PM
