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!!!

This is when you are on FaceTime. Then someone yells at you when you accidentally go on Instagram and you leave them on paused. Because they need all the attention from you.

a pause button is the big bar on your keyboard, and it is used for when someone is talking to you AND YOU FUCKING PAUSE THE SHIT YOU HAVE ON
person- "i gotta tell you something about my day."
tv watcher- "alright, let me pause this movie." ( uses pause button)
person- *tells the about their day*

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.
