snooze abuse 

When two people share a bed, and one has to get up in the morning. Some people tend to repeatedly hit the snooze bar, over and over, disturbing the hell out of the person who doesn't have to get up. This can be from once or twice to dozens of times.
She had to work at 10 AM, set the alarm for FOUR, and hit snooze two dozen times.
I could have strangled her, that's total
snooze abuse.

Post Masturbation Snooze 

The overwhelming tierdness recieved after a very successful session of masturbation. The snooze is used as a way to relax and restore the body to premasturbation state.
Boots:" dam dude that post masturbation snooze had me out for at least 2 hours. it was amazing and my cock feels great."

Vangi-Snooze 

When you talk to someone and they completely ignore you until after you try to get your point across. Usually happens between two co-workers when one does not pay attention to the other because they are in their own little world. They usually follow your last word with a quick and abrupt "huh" which at that point the initiator of the conversation has to tediously repeat himself. Sometimes this happens twice with the same main idea.
I was telling my co-worker of a funny incident that happened this past week and they just Vangi-Snoozed on me and paid me no mind.

Risky snooze 

The art of turning snooze off on your alarm after being woken up, and going back to sleep in the hope that your body will be the only alarm you need. Often goes disastrously wrong when you wake up and your lecture started 20 minutes ago.
1) "Sorry I'm late for the meeting boss, but I was so hungover this morning that I decided to do a risky snooze and I didn't wake up till your secretary rang, you're cool with that right?"

2) "Hey, where'd you get that black eye?"

"Well I slept with my mates wife, I was gonna leave before he got back, but I was tired so I had a risky snooze just before he came in"

3) "You look fresh"

"Yeah, I totally had a successful risky snooze"

4) "You're forty minutes late for your exam, you will not get the time back"

"But I have an excuse"

"What is it?"

"I went for a risky snooze but didn't wake up in time"

"That's okay then, don't worry I'll talk to the chief examiner about this"

5) The thought process goes -

I'm wide awake and ready to face a new day.

*turns off alarm*

*sits up*

Actually I'm still quite tired.

*lays down*

The alarm is SO far away, screw it I probably won't fall too much asleep.

*wakes up*

"FUCK"

*late*
