1) A period of time when a writer's mind is completely blank and drained of any kind of inspirational essence. They are unable to write. They start to bang their head against the basement wall. It bleeds. They scream and shout in agony. And finally, they pray that the pain from this blunt physical trauma and the sight of the sweet sweet catalytic blood finally gives them SOME kind of weak-ass idea.
2) Something that I never seem to have really. Hence why the above scenario was purely speculation on my part. I can't help but imagine however, that is somewhat similar to Dante's second level of hell.

Hey man, I have writer's block. Any advice?
"How about slitting your throat?"
"Okay, cool. Thanks!" *slits throat*
"uhh.. whoops. I kinda meant that as in writing a poem or short story or something about slitting your throat. Or maybe an essay about suicide. My bad."

When your brain gears just stop and no matter how hard you try you cannot feasibly come up with two words to type on your computer screen that make sense together and therefore cannot finish your epic novel about the quest to slay a dragon er whatever and every thought about the book that crosses your mind is immediately pushed back with "That would sound like f*ing s*t if I put that in words" and absolutely no inspiration can even enter your mind anymore and the end of your google doc is just stuck with the hero at his girlfriend's house crying on her floor for his missing brother and essentially, you feel like your brain is just a puddle of s*t.
"I have severe writer's block, I can't think of what to write next."
"Billy won't be finishing his book soon, he has writer's block."

An imaginary non-existant concept designed to help writers feel less guilty when they lack the mental capacity to write well for a certain time period. The real reason for this temporary lack of creativity is usually one of the following: distraction, health problems, lack of focus, laziness, or sometimes just the basic idea of writer's block can scare a writer into actually getting it.
Friend: Dude, your eyes are red, your hair is messy, the vain in your neck is throbbing and youve got that nervous twitch again!

When one is writing or typing a piece of literature and they cannot think about what to put next. It gets annoying and it takes another minute to think about what to put down next.
