Unintentionally pausing a video at the precise frame least flattering to the participant/s, e.g. resulting in the appearance of a gurning or mongoloid expression.
The viewer is invited to imagine a low-res video of the State of the European Union (SOTEU) address, paused during a crowd shot. "Look at the Pause-Job on Angela Merkel, has she suffered a stroke!?"

A syndrome whose primary symptom is never hitting the pause button (especially if one is texting while videogaming/watching tv). It is typically acquired through.
1. Excessive online multiplayer gaming.
2. TiVO/DVR deficiency
Effects of this syndrome include
1. Virtual decapitation by zombie teeth.
2. Getting beat to a pulp by Joker's henchmen or Goombas.
3. Missing the most dramatic moment of the Thursday episode of Days of Our Lives.
4. Constantly annoying friends by asking them to find their favorite shows online despite them not being available for public streaming on the TV channel's website yet as they aired less than 48 hours ago (this effect may not occur if the patient is somewhat internet savvy).
A Treatment plan includes:
1. Having others yell at the patient for having the syndrome, while hitting the pause button when needed, if possible.
2. Cancelling the patient's Xbox Live or WoW (World of Warcraft) Subscription.
3. Getting the patient a DVR.
4. Fixing the patient's pause button if it is broken.
5. Cancelling the patient's cell service so they'll stop wasting their lives texting, while wasting their lives watching TV or playing video games...

My brother has a horrible case of No Pause Syndrome from playing too much Borderlands. I can't count how many times I've seem him get turned into swiss cheese while playing games due to that.
My friends are constantly missing parts of episodes of Jersey Shore as they don't have a DVR. I'm sick of them asking me to find them their shows on veevr and what not.

I was with Ashley last night. After I came in her We did a parked pause while we made out for a while. Then we screwed some more.

When something messes you up so bad that you just need a second to regroup. After saying 'pause-,' the person takes 10-15 seconds of silence to think and process what they just heard before continuing their sentence.
