The term "Mad Minute" did not originate with the Vietnam War. It originated from British Army infantry skill-at-arms training from just before World War 1, when an infantryman - during what would today be called his Annual Personal Weapons Test, or APWT - had to get at least 15 hits on a 300 yard target in 60 seconds. No mean feat with a bolt-action rifle fed from a 10-round magazine normally loaded from 5-round stripper clips (and thus needing to be reloaded during the practice). This is why the German Army in the opening battles of WW1 frequently thought they were facing machinegun fire when they were mainly up against infantrymen with bolt-action .303 Lee Enfields on rapid fire.
The "mad minute" was used by, amongst others, author Michael Herr in "Despatches", in that case to describe periods of intense automatic weapons fire during the Vietnam War. Also used to describe any short period of frenetic activity.

Conducting one's self in a manner that is shameful, disgusting, or below normal standards in a very short amount of time.
Stephanie is going to resemble a blimp because she ate that pizza in a Pigeon's Minute!
when you are tired of using the word "fucking" you say shitty. So instead of saying wait a fucking minute you would just use the word "shitty"
"Just wait a shitty minute!!" screamed Kari.
An amount of time, never in the near future, but also very soon. Sometimes will come with a planned day that will be missed. Longer than a New York minute, but shorter than the heat death of the universe. Similar to blizzard's Soontm However far less certain.
We've been waiting for the dundees for a Kantos minute.
