"perimeter time"

Massive kudos to the Murderbot tv show for coming up with my favorite phrase of 2025 so far: PERIMETER TIME.

*the idea of 'checking the perimeter' as an acknowledged stand-in for 'I want to go be alone for a while, and also do something vaguely useful'

*as in "maybe it just needs some perimeter time"

*and also: "so, how's the perimeter?" "is that a joke?" "sort of"

"what even is the perimeter? because it really seems to vary"
