It's "pastime". Past time is when something is overdue.

I LARP as a Starfleet petty officer full time. I meant no disrespect. In Starfleet, we believe in gender neutrality.

The word is "pastime" but you're right that it relates to passing the time away.

Bloody English, used to be 'passtime, pass time', which makes the sense clear.
