Tongan time
simple past tense and past participle of pollard
(uncountable, sometimes derogatory, slang) A notional system of time which others sometimes derogatorily ascribe to Tongans, and which they sometimes jocularly ascribe to themselves, to account for their supposed tendency to be leisurely, not rigorous about scheduling, and often tardy.
A Himalayan pine, Pinus roxburghii
A free peasant (as opposed to a serf) of the lowest rank, below an earl and a thane; a freeman; also (more generally), a person without royal or noble status; a commoner. / A bondman or serf.
招待状には午後7時と書かれていたが、誰もがトンガののんびりした時間感覚だと考えていたので、実際に集まりが始まったのはずっと後になり、地元の人たちも冗談めかしてそのステレオタイプを受け入れることがある。
