    It’s just purple prose and metaphor, it takes a little translation but it’s not that hard!

    What’s the world like for these people? If I tell them “this will just take a second” do they get surprised when it takes more than literally one second?

      Considering the number of people I say that to and then have them count “One!” and then stare at me with a blank expression,

      Yeah probably.
