Question?

Some people say "fast" attack or "medium" "attack". What in ms would be considered "fast" since some compressors go down to .01ms and some start as fast as .1ms?? How about a "medium" "attack" what time would this be "30ms+"? And I never hear anybody mention "slow" attack times would this be "100ms+"? How about release times would "fast" be "100ms" and would medium start around "500ms"? What is the fastest release time a compressor can offer? Can someone kindly help? Or do "Fast" "Medium" "Slow" all relate to the source at hand? Maybe I am answering my own questions.

I'm just trying to keep up with the jargon so when I read other folks posts I can relate.
