Has anyone Heard of "Ohnosecond"?

[FlyLice]

Company had some training I don't even remember what it was (business etiquette?) and he mentioned Ohnosecond like we're suppose to know. Anyone else heard of it before?

EDIT: I'm not asking for a definition. I'm asking if you've heard of it before.

Ohnosecond

<unit, humour> (Presumably a play on "nanosecond") The
miniscule time it takes to realize that you've just made a BIG
mistake like typing rm -rf * in the wrong directory.

Seen in Elizabeth P. Crowe's book, "The Electronic Traveller."

No, I hadn't heard it called that.

(had to look it up)

Heard of it, but it certainly isn't commonly used.

I think that's when you realized you're about to be fvcked up at the last second. You know, you just kinda mutter "oh no"

Its when you make a huge mistake and that split second after you did it you realize what you have done. In your mind you're thinking "Oh no!". That split second is formally known as "ohnosecond".

1) I hadn't heard of it before and guessed on my definition
2) Your OP was misleading and I began typing my response before anyone else had responded.

Does anyone Heard of "Ohnosecond"?

the title is not a coherent sentence. Do you mean "Has anyone heard of "Ohnosecond"?"

 

[Doggiedog]

Does that have anything to do with the speedskater Apollo Ohno?

Nope.
We have, however, come up with a term to refer to certain types of projects we estimate where we predict something bad will happen, and increase our quote to cover it. We refer to it as the OSF (Oh sh!t factor)
"That'll be about 3 hours, not including the OSF."
