#80 Whiles

Taylor: (randomly) Is six whiles long?
Me: (confused) What?
Taylor: Six whiles. Is it long?

How do I explain that I can say, "I'll be there in a minute," and "I'll be there in six minutes." And I can say, "I'll be there in a while," but I can't say, "I'll be there in six whiles."  ?

At that moment: I was at a loss. So if Taylor gives you a timeframe in "whiles" you'll know why.
