    Its been a minute I understand has the meaning, it has been a while. If this is true, then why dont you say, "its been a decade" to denote a very long time? Why not even say. "its been a while". Who the hell comes up with this sh1t!?!?

    actually, i believe the phrase originated up north in NY. ever heard of the phrase a new york minute? meaning that a LOT of sh*t goes down in a NY minute....hence when saying it's been a minute, you're referring to a new york minute, which is supposed to a lot of time

    He is not a Troll. Trolls are strong enough to stop a car with their hands.
