mental pause

What men often experience during a woman's menopause.
A sudden interruption in thought or loss of the thought entirely.

Press Pause

Telling a person to stop or hold on until you come back or finish what you are dong. You have to use your fingers when you tell them also. So hold up your index and middle fingers like this: 11 (looks like the pause signal on your mp3 player).

Person 1: So I know you wanted to talk me about...
Person 2: Press Pause (while doing the hand signal) I need to go to the bathroom.

millennial pause

a moment when a person recording a video takes a second in the beginning before actually doing what they wanted

— did you see that? he looked dumb in the beginning waiting for his phone to start recording.
