Powerful pause

When the Herminator got asked about his possible inappropriate sexual behavior with former female staffers in the National restaurant Association, he got really quiet for a long time. Then he said, "I thought they wanted me to hold the pepperoni!" Later he called that a "powerful pause."

Google Pause 

The (often awkward) break in an online conversation that occurs after someone references and/or asks something which you have no idea about. The break lasts as long as it takes you to google search the aforementioned 'something' and (usually) click on the wikipedia article for it and skim-read the first paragraph or so. After the break, you proceed to pretend there was no break in the conversation, and you attempt to pass your newfound knowledge off as something you've known for ages.

Meno-pause 

A relapse of the brain from reading a mindless, pointless piece by Plato.
When one forgets entirely what they were doing from reading a redundant dialogue by Plato that does not give any definitive answer to the question asked in the piece.
I was sitting in Honors 111 as we discussed "Meno" by Plato. I was next to Camille and my mind went absolutely blank and I had no idea what happened for the last 10 minutes. I looked over to see her doodling a depiction of my shoe. She must be suffering from Meno-pause like I am.
