Input delay

When someone has input delay it means they are a little slow and it can take them up to 5 to 10 seconds to think of how to complete even the most basic of tasks.

Therapeutic Delay

When a person in an ER waiting room has to wait long enough to be seen, they get frustrated, and realize just how 'not sick' they are and storm out of there, only to call their doctor to get in to be seen, like they should have done in the first place.
The patient with cold symptoms had to wait 2 hours to be seen in the ER, and left after the therapeutic delay cured them.

Dump Delay

Excess time spent in an airplane bathroom leading other passengers to think that you were making a stinky. Typically any time over 3 minutes for a male and any time over 10 minutes for a female.
I got hung up in the bathroom trying to squeeze out an air biscuit and the hot girl sitting next to me picked up on my dump delay. It looks like, I'll be joining the Mile High Club solo.
