Pinboard - antisocial bookmarking

Friedman (unit) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Friedman, or Friedman Unit (F.U.), is a tongue-in-cheek neologism coined by blogger Atrios (Duncan Black)… A Friedman is a unit of time equal to six months in the future. […] More generally, the concept can refer to any event or 'critical period' which is repeatedly expected to happen in the near future, but repeatedly fails to occur."
