Resposta rápida
Boys vs girls: "since two hours" or "for two hours"?
Say "for two hours," not "since two hours." Use for with a length of time, such as two hours, three days or a long time. Use since with the moment something started, such as yesterday, Monday or 3 o'clock.

Not for a long time. Tom: Relaxed, not exact
Use this short answer when something hasn't happened in a while and you don't want to give an exact number. If you know the exact time, use a number instead, as in "for six months."
“Not for a long time.”
-
For two hours. Tom: Clear and exact
Use for plus a number to say how long something lasted. It's a natural short answer to "How long?" Don't use since here, because two hours is a length of time, not a starting point.
“For two hours, sir.”
-
But that's just since yesterday. Tom: Strong, a bit annoyed
Use since with a point in time, like yesterday, to say when something started. Here the speaker sounds a little annoyed because the time feels short. Say it calmly if you are only giving information.
“But that's just since yesterday.”
-
I've been waiting since three o'clock. Tom: Exact, a little impatient
Use since with a clock time to show when your waiting started and that it is still going on. It works well when someone is late. With a friend, it can sound like a complaint, so watch your voice.
-
We've known each other for years. Tom: Warm and general
Use for years when the exact number doesn't matter. It's friendly and common when you introduce an old friend. Don't say "since years."
-
I haven't seen her since Monday. Tom: Neutral, factual
Use since with a day when you say the last time something happened. It fits negative sentences well. If you want to give the length instead, say "for three days."

Não fica bem assim
I waited since two hours.Uma forma melhor I waited for two hours.
Two hours is a length of time, so it needs for. Since needs a starting point, like 3 o'clock or yesterday. This is exactly what confuses Theo in the Short.

Não fica bem assim
I live here since 2020.Uma forma melhor I've lived here since 2020.
When an action started in the past and continues now, English usually uses the present perfect (have or has + past participle) with since and for.
-
Não fica bem assim
I've been here since a long time.Uma forma melhor I've been here for a long time.
A long time is a length of time, not a moment, so use for. The film line "Not for a long time" shows the correct pattern.
