Как сказать по-английски "время идёт!", в смысле "давай быстрей, мы теряем время"?
По-русски можно даже сказать просто "Время!" (например, "Давай быстрее! Время!"), но если сказать просто "Time!" по-английски, это будет значить "пора" (~it's time to do something), не так ли?..
Maybe one can say "We/You are wasting time?"
Is it idiomatic?
We don't have all day is a very common phrase with a similar meaning.
"The clock is ticking" is another, in certain contexts.
You have written the meaning of an idiom, which is OK, but here is the actual idiom:Quote:

1. Women are the product of time and money.
2. Time is money.
3. Money is the root of all evil.
So: woman = time x money = money x money = root(evil) x root(evil) = evil.
"Women are evil".
This joke is better in some other language, where also number 1 is a common saying. Maybe it was in Italian?
