1. An awkward moment in which you accidentally make direct eye contact with another person who hates you and life suddenly goes into slow motion for approximately 3 seconds until eye contact or silence is broken.
2. Moments also engaged by rivals, such as a criminal to a police officer. This is most often experienced when someone accidentally speeds past a police officer on the side of the road. The very moment of realization by the speeder will throw him into a sloment as he turns his head and watches himself get gunned.

As I turned the corner going 140mph in my black, Chevy Cobalt SS, I experienced a true sloment as I ripped past a cop chilling on the side of the road. After pulling me over, he wrote me a ticket for $500 and impounded my car. As they were towing away my baby, my mom rolled up. As she stepped out of the car, our eyes connected. The sloment was so intense that I could see the wrinkles under her eyes form as she glared at me - pissed that I just lost the car she hadn't even finished paying off yet. It was almost a mercy killing when the cop slapped cuffs on me and put me in the back of his car - better his than hers.
