Take 5
Short work break
Take 5 is an instruction to pause briefly, originally from film and television production where it meant a five-minute break between scenes.
The phrase has spread to general use for any short rest: Let's take 5 before we finish up.
Take 5 is also a candy bar featuring chocolate, peanuts, caramel, peanut butter, and pretzels.
