Honor second

From USAFA Folklore

An honor second is a facetious cadet slang term suggesting that, under the Honor Code, a cadet might have a certain period of time to "take back" an untruth. The term may be invoked when someone is suspected of exaggerating to make himself look better--for instance, if a cadet is bragging about his exploits over the weekend, his buddy might interrupt him and start counting, "One honor second, two honor seconds..."
