smart delay start

A start that is delayed from its normal time because of a smartphone use.

e.g. (at a petrol servo, while waiting in line)
- "Why isn't this car moving out, they've been finished for 5' now!"
- "They probably do a smart delay start! Honk at them! Or wait until they've finished texting."

Delay

When you can't make it to an previous fixed time and you have to delay it for a bit.

Pinv.: We'll have to delay. I can't make at 6 cause mom it's still home and she'll be all up in our business. Somewhere around 7:30 works for you?

Delay Technique

What a guy conjures up in his head to stop from coming too soon.

I was with this smoke show last night, and one thing led to another, and we were having sex. Luckily, I've got a great delay technique - I just think about my sweaty gym teacher in high school. Adds at least another 5 minutes.

The MB Delay

When an email is sent and received, it sits in the inbox of the Customer Service Rep that it was sent directly to, unread for hours or sometimes days. Most email will never get responded to ever. Building up in the inbox, lost forever in the Outlook abyss. When the email is finally replied to, the situation has already long been resolved or a delayed task.

Pineapple Delay

When you're having sexual intercourse with a girl from behind, you stop and as soon as she ask's why you stopped you hit her over the head with a pineapple.

Dude I pulled the Pineapple delay against Michelle last night.

Doom Loop Delay

Doom Loop Delay (or DLD for short) is when a Doom Looper (someone who watches the same TV show over and over again) has been so entrenched in their Doom Loop, that they have become out of touch with current affairs & TV shows. Shows they haven't seen seem like they were released yesterday, although most non loopers have probably seen them already. There are varying degrees of DLD, from mild to severe.

Doom Looper in the year 2020; Hey friend, have you seen "Making a Murderer"? Its this CRAZY TV documentary show!
Friend of Doom Looper; Yeah, that came out like 4 years ago? Did you only just see that?
Doom Looper in the year 2020; Yeah I just finished it yesterday...

Friend of Doom Looper; What? What have you been doing?

Doom Looper in the year 2020; I was watching "The Office" for the 645th time...
Friend of Doom Looper; I think you're suffering from Doom Loop Delay.

Doom Looper in the year 2020; That's what she said.

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.
