GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

French term or phrase: Min'z
I'm translating a list of error messages, so there is no context here. "Min'z" occurs in two messages: "Ton compte étant récent, tu ne peux donner plus de 20 Min'z par 24h". and "Min'z non envoyés". I'm totally foxed. Any ideas?

Min'z
Explanation:
I don't believe it is translatable since it is a term invented by the people at LiveMec, a webcam service for the gay crowd.

I think Tony is right, this is related to the minutes a person can use the service.

Qu'est ce que les Min'z ?


Afin que LiveMec garde son esprit Fun & Equitable pour tous, nous avons mis en place Les Min'z .Le principe est simple : Pour regarder les webcams des autres utilisateurs connectés, tu dois avoir des Min'z sur ton compte.Lorsque tu regardes une webcam tu utilises 1 Min'z chaque minute. A chaque fois que l'on te regarde tu gagnes gratuitement 0,5 Min'z par minute et par utilisateur qui te regarde.

agree  Terry Richards: A bit like Kudoz but (slightly) more useful :) // I'm not sure that site would (for me) either!
