time T

/ti:m T/ , n. 1. An unspecified but usually well-understood time, often used
in conjunction with a later time T+1. We'll meet on campus at time T or at
Louie's at time T+1 means, in the context of going out for dinner: We can
meet on campus and go to Louie's, or we can meet at Louie's itself a bit
later. (Louie's was a Chinese restaurant in Palo Alto that was a favorite
with hackers.) Had the number 30 been used instead of the number 1, it would
have implied that the travel time from campus to Louie's is 30 minutes;
whatever time T is (and that hasn't been decided on yet), you can meet half
an hour later at Louie's than you could on campus and end up eating at the
same time. See also since time T equals minus infinity.
