A unit of time. Useful in many different circumstances.
Man getting ready for a date: 3 seconds
Woman getting ready for a date: 45 minutes
Time for which it takes your friend to leave the house: 3 minutes
A historical event (a moment in time): depends if it is the sinking of the titanic (hours), impact of fat man (.01 milliseconds)
Interval of time it takes to complete computer repairs in a movie: 2.45 seconds (always followed by the word “there”)
A threat: 16 seconds give or take a few.
Well hell, a unit of time it takes to do anything. All you have to say is “in a moment” and they (friends/family/gun toting villains) have to wait until your done. Except if you get shot cus that would suck, but at least it’ll only take a moment.
You have one moment
I'll be down in a moment
In a moment
Just give me a moment
It was just a moment and it was done
Screw you guys, it was only a moment

When you look into each other's eyes and you can feel the romance and the passion...the desire.

A silent moment between two people (either gender, hetrosexual, homosexual, or bi-sexual) in which prolonged eye contact is made and initial feelings of attraction are felt. Often referred to simply as a "moment."
In the Mexican (2001, Dreamworks), Samantha (Julia Roberts) is in a diner with Winston(James Gandolfini), whom Samantha believes to be Leroy, and as they have a discussion, Winston gazes up and looks across the diner and makes prolonged eye-contact with another man, pauses, and then resumes his conversation with Samantha:
Samantha- What was that?
Winston-What?
Samantha-That. That moment you had.
Winston-What moment?
Samantha-Leroy, you just checked out that guy and had a moment.
Samantha-That was a moment.
Winston-I don't know if it was a moment.
Samantha-(Are you gay?)
Winston-- As in happy?
Samantha- As in homosexual.

A mystical force referred to multiple times by Yes singer Jon Anderson in his lyrics.
It is similar to the movement.
"Passed around the moment clothed in mornings faster than we see.."
"We must have waited all our lives for this moment..."
"A man conceived a moments answers to the dream..."
"As a moment regained and regarded both the same..."

Term used to describe someone who lives in the "moment". Perhaps a long lost relative of "the Situation". And most certainly a regular to the Jersey Shore.
The Moment: "Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was this guy!"
On-looker: "Wow...that is another classic by The Moment!"
