I honestly have no idea what you're saying here. "I don't know what to call, so I guess it's 3 seconds"? Who has ever called 3 seconds b/c they didn't know what else to call?

What kind of play are you envisioning that would confuse somebody so badly that they just come up with a 3 seconds call? I'm not trying to be adversarial, I just honestly have no idea what kind of situation you're talking about.

You mean in contact situations? There's a lot of contact, so just to get people away from each other, I'll call 3 seconds?

Can you explain a little about what you're trying to describe?
