Relationship delay

The long pauses that occur between replies when texting or chatting with a friend on Facebook. This delay can be explained, after investigation, by their preoccupation with talking to their boyfriend/girlfriend, who is also online.

Friend One: Hey! How are you
8 minutes later.
Friend Two: Oh, hi. Sorry, distracted. I was talking to this boy.
Friend One: Relationship delay..
12 minutes later.
Friend Two: What?

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.

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 zombie

Someone that is neurologically tortured and purposefully delayed so they don't develop or get to experience life fully and are almost always tortured and have no control over their own body because of masochistic sadism. They don't even get to experience euphoria and are manipulated and kill themselves usually by age 30.

She's a delayed zombie you can dip your stick anytime they don't actually count at people.

delayed pain

When you hurt yourself, and your body is good for a few seconds, but then the pain happens (ex: stubbing your toe, feeling it after a half second)

Aching muscle barely counts, this is mainly for delay in the seconds.

When I stubbed my toe on the wall, the delayed pain happened after a second.
