two-minute

Lasting 120 seconds

Two-minute describes something lasting or requiring two minutes: a two-minute warning, a two-minute speech.

The term often suggests brevity or quickness, sometimes with a note of impatience: Can I have two minutes of your time?

In American football, the two-minute warning is an official timeout when two minutes remain in each half.
