Comes from one of the most anticipated PC game title of our generation: Half-Life 2.

"We've already spent millions into this project, and we're willing to spend as much as we need to make this the best first person experience ever. If that means delaying the game to 2005, we'll do it without any hesitation. If it means sinking another $20 million into the project, we can do it. Rest assured, if we delay the game, it'll be only to blow your socks off even more... if we finally release it."

"Delay no more" comes from Cantonese foul words with similar sounds (Diu lay lo mo), which means "fuck your mother".

Seldom used seriously and speak in verbally. "Delay no more" appears in writing as joke among Hong Kong people. A fashion brand in Hong Kong produced T-shirts with "DelayNoMore" on it and advertised it on large billboards.
To express non-serious anger in writing, in chat room or on message board. Write "Delay no more" in reply.
