I vote for "in time of need." I think this sort of thing is in a play called [i]The Importance of Being in Context[/i].

Captain Sparklez, real name Jordan Moran, used to have a Youtube series named Mianite. When you type Mianite into Google, it auto-corrects to Moabite. Google tells us that a Moabite is a person that used to live near the land of Jordan, by the Dead Sea.
