Definition: Most surfers are blessed with the gift of hyperbole (overstatement), meaning that many things we say don't necessarily reflect reality. A perfect example is "all-time", a very positive adjective that describes something as beaing the best ever...of historical significance...of biblical proportions. The only problem is that you might here someone use this term to describe several sessions a year or even a month, therefore, not truly being the best ever since every swell can't be more "all-time" than the last in the same way something can't be "more unique" or "more best". "All-time" is generally used to describe a session that you missed.
Pronunciation: awl-time
Also Known As: Epic, Classic, Best-ever
Examples: What, you had to work yesterday? Well you blew it! The swell was all- time!
