I was working the list of completed issues and testing them out on the staging server when I ran into a question that I wanted to ask of the guy sitting right across from me. We went through a dialogue I've been through hundreds of times, as both interuptor and interuptee, where the interruptor asks something like 'Got a minute?', which might mean 20 seconds or half-an-hour, and the interuptee says something to the effect of 'not now, give me 5 minutes', or something to that effect, to allow time to complete a thought/process step/whatever.
This time we joked about the need for vocabulary for this, and we came up with the phrase "Next Logical Break, Please", and its shorthand, "NLBP" to handle the interuptee's side of things.
