Delayed Backflip

An impressive backward somersault done by lifting the arms and legs very slowly making it look like in slow motion.

IShowSpeed is the only online streamer with the smoothest delayed backflip.

Wow, did you see how smooth his delayed backflip was?

I'm trying to practice delayed backflip but my brain says no.

comics delay

Refers to an impromptu pause in labors that involve old newspapers --- such as cleanup or padding --- to read cartoons that you happen across as you're separating the leaves of the journals prior to using the paper sheets for their intended purpose in your task.

My boss takes a dim view of comics delays, so I just save out any newspaper-sheets that have cartoons on them, and then peruse said funnies during my coffee breaks.

Arthur Delay

The time between someone saying something idiotic and when someone criticizes you for it.

Arthur:So you get athletes foot from watching basketball right?

3 minutes later...

Jessy:Did you really just think you got athletes foot from watching basketball?

That was some bad arthur delay.

Harass, Cause Unnecessary Delay, or Increase The Cost of Litigation

I don't see how this isn't intended to do explicitly that.

Hym "I mean, if the lawyers need to sign as a guarantee that the filing isn't being used to Harass, Cause Unnecessary Delay, or Increase The Cost of Litigation then why am I being harassed? Why is me getting paid being unnecessarily delayed? And I don't really care about the cost of litigation but I did have to sit here with fluid in my brain for months. It's still there! Less now. I don't feel like my cognition is impaired as much. But I can still hear it slamming against the back of my ear drum... So, you're saying they can't do it but they're doing it. Exactly what this is intended to do. Harass, Cause Unnecessary Delay, or Increase The Cost of Litigation. And avoid having to bring me my money."

The MB Delay

When an email is sent and received, it sits in the inbox of the Customer Service Rep that it was sent directly to, unread for hours or sometimes days. Most email will never get responded to ever. Building up in the inbox, lost forever in the Outlook abyss. When the email is finally replied to, the situation has already long been resolved or a delayed task.

Delay Technique

What a guy conjures up in his head to stop from coming too soon.

I was with this smoke show last night, and one thing led to another, and we were having sex. Luckily, I've got a great delay technique - I just think about my sweaty gym teacher in high school. Adds at least another 5 minutes.

DeLayed gratification

A term for Money Laundering. Coined after the infamous house majority leader, Tom DeLay, after his conviction on money laundering charges.

John realized that most of the money he made was illegal, so he didn't mind some DeLayed gratification while he moved the money around in order to hide it's source.
