Danish term (edited):
tid ud
Selected
time out
Det lyder som en stavefejl. Jeg tror, der menes "tid ud", som igen lyder som en 'undersættelse' af det engelske 'time out'. Mange danskere bruger i dag direkte, 'undersatte', engelske udtryk som fx 'hænge ud' (hang out). Det lyder forfærdeligt på dansk, men sådan gør de.
Note from asker:
| Thanks, I had thought of "tid ud" but the repeated use of "til" threw me. |
| One lexicological note: It's very likely the speaker is not a native user of Danish. Which makes jobs like these even more "interesting". :-) |

: I definitely like Thomas' suggestion better than my own, but the source text is still appalling Danish...

I'll stick my neck out here and claim that there is no common use of 'til ud' in the Danish language.
