mañana

Not today, later

Mañana is Spanish for "tomorrow" or "morning," borrowed into English to suggest an indefinite future time—later, eventually, not now.

It often implies a relaxed attitude toward deadlines or urgency: We'll worry about that mañana.

The word can carry a stereotype of Latin American cultures as unhurried, which some find offensive.
