Just a convenient turn of phrase, probably.
Assuming the universe is around 14 billion years old, a million years is like comparing a blink to about 70 minutes (average speed of a blink being somewhere between 300ms and 400ms).
Does a blink feel short in comparison to 70 minutes? That's a matter of perception, I guess...
