-cake layers
-delay of game
-plastic surgery

pleasure delayer

who knows where it really came from, but "vanilla sky" gave it more widespread use. you hold out till the last possible moment to get it on, because it will be that much better.

I want him, and I know he wants me, but we're not going to freak and get nasty just yet because we're both pleasure delayers.

The Marajuana Ten Second Brain Delay

The delay that comes from being way too high. The reason you laugh after everyone else has gotten a joke, fail to grab a railing in time, raise your hands after you've been punched and redirect your aim only after you've peed on the floor.

(end of joke)...to get to the other side!

(crowd laughs)
(you look blankly at the teller)
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
(you laugh, everyone else has stopped)
"Noooooo waaaaaay....the OTHER SIDE....HAHAHAHAHAH!"
Hence, The Marajuana Ten Second Brain Delay

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.

"I sent an email last week to [e-mail] and have not heard back"
Tech Rep looks over notes and sees that customers email is on the MB Delay.

The act of layering various guitar delay pedals.

The delayering that you did in that song was incredible!

Satellite Delay

The time it takes for a thought to register in the brain. especially after someone tells a joke, and it takes the other person a moment before they get it. This delay is known to be longer in blondes.

Bob told a joke, and Sally just stared at him for a moment with a blank expression. Then suddenly she started laughing hilariously. "Sorry, just a little satellite delay."

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.
