Paused-whore

Pronounced •Pore•zed•horr•

Someone who stares at only doors with their mouth agape, waiting for literally anyone to walk in - seemingly because they are in desperate need of entertainment

I bored Harry out of his mind so badly he became a paused-whore

millennial pause

when someone (specifically a millennial) starts recording, freezes for a second to make sure its recording, and then continue what they were doing. kinda like when your watching the news and it flips the camera to a news reporter overseas or something and they kind of just stand there for an awkward few seconds and then start talking.

*a video on tiktok*
"(few seconds of silence)...hey guys! so today we are going to (blah blah blah)"
*the comment section*
"lmfao not the millennial pause"

stupidity pause

That moment where you're still stopped at a green light to wait for any assholes who run the red light to clear the intersection and/or could potentially hit you

I had to take a stupidity pause today at a green light because I thought some dickhole was going to run the red light

pause frustration

The frustration one feels when watching a film at a movie theater, as one can't pause it.

Movies? Nah, I'll pass. I'll just get pause frustration.

Pause-Job

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!?"

No Pause Syndrome

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.

gorilla pause

Refers to how large hairy hominids are often wary and shy when trying out new things, and so they tend to hesitate and ponder all possible options before proceeding.

The great apes are naturally unfamiliar with human customs of interaction, so don't be offended or disappointed if a giant simian displays a "gorilla pause" before holding out its "gorilla paws" in greeting.
