Indefinitely

Indefinitely is a word a lawyer would love.  You have to admire a word that means nothing, but sounds so cool.  As a time-descriptive adverb, it's two meanings, unlimited and unspecified, are polar opposites.  Could be forever, or could mean this afternoon or next month.  Who knows. An infinite number of possibilities.  But which meaning do you infer when that word is used?
