good time

Enjoyable stretch spent

A good time is an enjoyable experience: We had a good time at the party.

The phrase also has a legal sense—time deducted from a prison sentence for good behavior: With good time, he'll be out in three years.

To show someone a good time is to entertain them, sometimes with sexual implications.
