Caribbean time

Definition

A humorous cultural reference to a pattern of arriving 1-2 hours late; when your arrival time is 'whenever you get there' and punctuality is more of a suggestion than a requirement.

Example Usage

The party starts at 8, but everyone will be on Caribbean time, so nothing actually happens until 9:30.
