quality time
Where it comes from
Originally American English, early 1970s.
noun
- Time spent enjoyably with family, friends, or one's partner. All of this leaves a gap for families to spend quality time together in a relaxed atmosphere – and that is where the Twixmas breaks have come in.
- Time spent by working parents with their children, especially time given over to productive or creative attention. Here, Dracula frets about growing old without a romantic partner (his wife died years ago), while Mavis worries that her working relationship with her dad running their hotel is cutting down on quality time.
