taking a break 

1. In a long, committed relationship; the couple are going through some confusion as to what they really want. They 'take the break' in hopes that after a certain amount of time apart, they will A) miss each other enough to realize they really love each other and want the other person back or B) realize they're better off without them.
Sometimes they do get back together and really do benefit from taking a break. Sometimes they don't.

2. In a less committed relationship; she takes a break with him because he's not interesting enough, or not what she expected. He takes a break with her because she's not hot enough or she's too clingy. People in these kind of relationships seldom get back together after taking a break.

1. guy/girl: "I really do care about you, but we've grown apart and I don't know if I'm in love with you anymore. I think we should consider taking a break, so I can have some time to myself to figure it out." (said in all honesty, with good intentions).

2. guy/girl: "I really do care about you, but we've grown apart and I don't know if this relationship is what I want anymore. I think we should take a break, so I can have some time to myself to figure it out." (most likely said to make the other person feel better, so you can make a quick escape and move on).

Smoke Break 

Addicted cigarette smokers need regular smoke breaks each day to quell nic fits. See also: nicotene break.

Jack: Hey, John - wanna go for a smoke break...?

John: Sure.

Irritated co-worker: I think I should take up smoking. That way, I'd get a ten minute break from work every f*cking hour...!

A week where all the dumb kids go to Cancun and all the level headed people get to relax.

Baltimore Break In

A Baltimore break in is the act in which someone penetrates an unknowing victim. As in a person bending over with no pants on, or if in the shower. Not to be confused with the southern trespass which is sneaking in the backdoor while have sex. The Baltimore Break In requires stealth, speed and most of all courage.

She bent over to pick up her underware and Alan performed a Baltimore Break In on her. She screamed.

Forgetting everything you learned in school before winter/spring break, by the time you get back to school.

2- "Same here, looks like were suffering from post-break syndrome"

imagination break 

a reverie indulged in while awake. Another term for daydreaming.

I didn't really feel paying attention in class so I took an imagination break and fought some ninjas, then the teacher realized I wasn't paying attention.
