EN: One thousand years; a millennium
The amount of time it feels like you're waiting for your online order to arrive. Also the length of your crush's 'seen-zone' reply time. It's the Pinoy version of 'forever,' used to describe anything that takes an excruciatingly long time, like EDSA traffic on a payday Friday.
From 'sanlibo' (one thousand) and 'taon' (year).
Often used hyperbolically to mean 'a very long time'.
