Delay Hole

Someone who adds road-blocks, bottlenecks, extra steps, and unneeded issues that delay something or someone, either through inconsiderate thinking, a need to increase their own importance through adding work or over complication, or to gain additional time for themselves in a situation or project where they will not be able to deliver.
1- The meeting should have been quick and solved the problem, but Jim was being a delay hole and kept adding unnecessary take away questions.
2- We didn't make the movie because Chad was being a delay hole and wasn't ready to go when we showed up.
3- The delay hole in the car ahead of us is going 20 in a 50, and in both lanes so we can't go around him.
4- I'd like to get to the bank, but my boss just called me into her office with a minute to go in the day. What a delay hole.
5- We should have been able to deliver that program on time but the programmer didn't check for bugs and left early. What a massive delay hole.

two-hour delay

the second greatest thing next to a snow day. Sure you still have to go to school, but you get to sleep in for two more hours.
There was a two-hour delay so I got an extra two hour sleep.

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
