Respect the pause

When a friend is watching a live, pause-able sporting event in a separate location and says he has to pause said event, you must respect the pause and not spoil what has happened until he has confirmed seeing it.

Brad: Dude, did you see that touchdown, that shit was crazy!

Mike: What the fuck asshole, I'm driving home from the store! Respect the pause, man!!!

Pause Button OCD

This is the game given to the habit of some people of pausing TV shows or films mid-flow in order to read text that is displayed on screen.

This phenomenon wasn't very common a couple of decades ago, but the ability to pause a TV show or film and retain crystal clear quality has caused the occurrences of this to rise in number. Often the people pausing the screen will pause in the hopes of learning some extra information about what's going on or maybe see some inside jokes. While sometimes they are right, more often than not the information will add nothing to the experience.

Can be very annoying for people who just want to watch the show.

Layfield pause

The pause you take when you’ve eaten too much but need to stop for a moment before having more.

After two rounds of Thanksgiving dinner, Rhonda needed a layfield pause before starting dessert.

laptop pause

The laptop pause is when you are going to turn on your laptop in a public place and hesitate to remember whether you left anything embarrassing open last night.

I had to buy a second computer for work only so I wouldn't have to do the laptop pause.
