- The optimal period of time (typically around fourteen minutes for an hour-long serial) between when a show starts and when you begin watching it on the TiVo, such that you can fast-forward through the adverts and catch up to "real time" exactly as the show is ending. Named for the "ba-doop" sound a TiVo makes when fast-forwarding.
- Any period of time currently accumulated between the point you're at in watching the show, and the latest point recorded.
Examples of use...
Mike: Hey, wanna watch Lost?
Liz: Totes, but it's only five past nine. Let's have a Diet Coke and wait for ba-doops.Or...Liz: Hey Mike! I'm watching the Motownphilly episode of Full House! Hurry!
Mike: Sweet! Fast-forward to the part where Stephanie forgets the choreography!
TiVo: FWNNK!
Mike: Oh noooes! We're out of ba-doops. I hate real time!
