Soul Delay

Experienced in tandem with jet lag. Your body arrives after a long flight but your soul doesn't arrive so quickly. The theory is your soul can't travel as fast as a jet and you can become discombobulated while you wait for your soul to catch up.

"Souls can't move that quickly, and are left behind, and must be awaited, upon arrival, like lost luggage." - William Gibson.
Q.:What times is it?

A.: I have no idea what time it is, I'm on my own time, I've got soul delay.

rain delay 

Having to wait to fool around with a girl, because she's on her period.
Man, I definitely would've reached at least third base tonight if it wasn't for the damn rain delay!

Tom DeLay 

Evil un-American, unethical bastard who imposes his radical christian right-wing beliefs on others and threatens to destroy anyone who opposes his radical extremism. Has absolutely no respect for the constitution or judges upholding the constitution. A former exterminator who is now a corrupt puppet for the energy industry.
Hopefully that large bus will do the patriotic thing and run over Tom DeLay.

Give Tom DeLay $10000000 and he will let your company destroy America while the taxpayers are forced to clean up the mess.

Tom delay 

One of the biggest fuckers on the planet. Panders to the right and does not compromise with the left.
Hopefully, Tom Delay will be forced to resign.

Death-Count Delay 

In any given pandemic with exponential spread, the period of time that exists between reported cases and the onset of increased mortality.
Like I said, the increased case counts are just because of all the great testing we're doing; there has been no increase in death reported and soon there will be zero cases. We've got this TOTALLY under control.
Ummm, Sir...seems like we should wait 2-3 weeks for the Death-Count Delay before taking that victory lap.

Chapter Delay 

Occurs while taking a shit, when by all necessary definitions you have completed your task, but want remain on the bowl to finish the current chapter of the book/newspaper/novel you are reading. Usually last between 2-5 minutes.

Most common in suspense novels and other mysteries.
Roommate 1- "You almost ready dude, we're gunna be late. First pitch is in 20 minutes."
Roommate 2- "Yeah man hold on, quick pre-game dump."

*10 minutes later*

Roommate 2- "Alright let's go"
Roommate 1- "WTF man, you said quick."
Roommate 2- "Didn't account for the chapter delay. That Dan Brown is amazing."
