courtesy delay

Refers to any pause or temporary postponement of a minor action (speaking, standing up or shifting your position while seated or in bed, switching on/off a light or music device, performing a "noisy" task like moving furniture or operating a motorized household device, etc.) that a thoughtful considerate individual performs (often with a moderate taxing of his own patience/bodily comfort) so as to avoid/minimize the startling/distressing impact of said action on one or more other nearby humans, such as a slumbering partner who is super-exhausted and/or is in a lot of pain or other acute bodily discomfort that he feels whenever he's awake, and thus the only time he has relief is when he's actually asleep.

Cool dude #1: Geez, buddy --- why da awkward limp and droopy shoulders?!?!???
Cool dude #2: (groaning in pain as he hobbles over to sit beside his friend to watch the ball game with him): Oh, just da classic "courtesy delay" woes, pal... I was sitting cross-legged on the grass with my girlfriend, and she had fallen asleep with her head in my lap... I knew she'd been up since 3 a.m. to help her mom care for her colicky baby brother, and so naturally, Mr. Soft-Hearted here couldn't bear to wake her up by changing position, and so I just hadda sit motionless on the cold hard ground with my muscles going numb and cramping up for half an hour till she finally came awake to turn over herself.

Delayed Flexing

Delayed Flexing in the simplest terms, is during the time that school comes back in, waiting to flex until after everyone else come back from the summer. Every body will wanna flex on them thotties when they come back from summer right? We’ll, wait till them broke ass boys are done and then come back one week looking fresh AF. Then you’ll stand out to them hot hunnies ya know?

Broke ass boy: Damn how is Tommy pulling all these hoes? I came back looking nice as hell and got no booty.
Other broke ass boy: Shit we all flexed at once and he waited to hella flex and now they don’t see us. He really got us with the Delayed Flexing
Brokeass boy: Fuck I guess

DElay

A word used as a term for when a Warframe content update is pushed back.
It stems from the name of Warframe's developers, Digital Extremes, abbreviated as DE, and DE's inconsistency with content release dates.

I would be playing the new open world area by now, but it got DElayed to next month!

poop delay

When someone is late because they (or someone they're traveling with) takes an excessively long poop, therefore causing a delay in the plans.

Sorry we're late to the poetry reading, we were set back about 20 minutes due to my husband's poop delay.

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.

disabled delay

when the government doesn’t allow emergent things to generally happen in front of disabled people

The disabled delay kept them from suffering more illnesses which would cost the government more funds.
