Deja Vu, but with Pop Culture Reference. Or you read or see something and suddenly have to stop and think about the reference.
When I was watching the New Spider-Man, I Meta-Paused after they mentioned something I didn't get. I couldn't get it out of my head the entire film and was unable to get the reference until I looked it up later.

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!!!

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
