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?

The act of layering various guitar delay pedals.

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.

delayed taste

When someone comes back and tells you something, usually a song you showed them is actually good.

-

SpongeBob: Hey Patrick, have you listened to Sweet Victory?
Patrick: Yeah, but it's not really that good.

*two weeks later*

Patrick: Okay, it's a great song.
SpongeBob: I knew you'd have delayed taste.

Delai

The time period one puts between creating something with artificial intelligence and sending it to someone, in order to not raise suspicions on whether the product was AI-generated or not.

I'm gonna delai this article with 2 hours, so my manager will think I wrote it myself.

Have you delaied the presentation? Our client shouldn't know it was ai-generated.

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.
