Default Three Seconds

In Friday’s Daily Sun crossword puzzle, there were several clues of “Three Seconds” with the answers being a string of random words that seemed to be á propos of nothing. Can anyone tell me what that was all about! ( I can’t wait to read what the jokesters have to say about this one.)

Default 15 Seconds. Crossword Title.

I see five of those three second clues for very long answers. Famous people would be my guess.

Maybe a take off of 15 Minutes - Wikipedia

Three words that follow the word "second". "second chance", "second string", etc.

OK, I admit it - I Googled them and the answers made absolutely no sense to me...

Second billing in a movie or TV series?a sidekick? Second place team or second place in a race or event. There are so many possibilities. Tell us the answers and perhaps we can explain them to you.

They are asking for lists of 3 words that are commonly associated with second. Such as:
Second base, second chance, second opinion
