DeLayed gratification

A term for Money Laundering. Coined after the infamous house majority leader, Tom DeLay, after his conviction on money laundering charges.

John realized that most of the money he made was illegal, so he didn't mind some DeLayed gratification while he moved the money around in order to hide it's source.

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.

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.

Delayed Entry Program

A person in their 30's (or older) who still lives with their parents and therefore delayed full adulthood. Synonymous with Peter Pan Syndrome. They have instead opted to delay living financially independent from their parents, starting their own family and/or parting with their vast collection of video games and other childhood toys. They have entered the Delayed Entry Program (for adults). Not to be confused with the program of the same name for entering the military.

Bernard hasn't left home since high school still works at the same supermarket he did in high school and is in his 30's. He has decided to sign-up for the Delayed Entry program (for grownups).

Delayed Reaction Syndrome

The act of either not having fast reactions in general, or delaying your reactions on purpose. May be shortened to DRS. Another word for this is "being a lazy piece of shit". DRS is normally present in people who couldn't give two shits about the world around them, even their friends.

Example:
1: Dude, why did you let the ball go into the goal?
2: What do you mean?
3: Dude, I think you have Delayed Reaction Syndrome
2: I'm not that lazy
1: Then why didn't you save it?
2: I don't know man
1: I think you're just a lazy piece of shit
3: For real

The Marajuana Ten Second Brain Delay

The delay that comes from being way too high. The reason you laugh after everyone else has gotten a joke, fail to grab a railing in time, raise your hands after you've been punched and redirect your aim only after you've peed on the floor.

(end of joke)...to get to the other side!

(crowd laughs)
(you look blankly at the teller)
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
(you laugh, everyone else has stopped)
"Noooooo waaaaaay....the OTHER SIDE....HAHAHAHAHAH!"
Hence, The Marajuana Ten Second Brain Delay
