Shatner syndrome

Talking with many awkward pauses in one's speech, to try and make whatever one is saying more impressive and/or dramatic. Named after William Shatner, who had a severe case of it while playing Captian Kirk.

William Shatner: "Mr. Sulu! Ahead! Warp factor six! Engage!"
Mr. Sulu: "Captain, your Shatner syndrome again."
