Quantum lag is the time it takes for changes in the quantum realm to be reflected in reality. Unlike the 'real world', the quantum realm has no equivalent dimensions because the quantum elements are relational. It is only when these elements acquire mass and energy, from which the natural laws are derived, that they can be measured in terms of space and time.
Most of us will only notice quantum lag when the quantum event is experienced immediately prior to its effect in reality, a condition referred to as deja-vu. Less obvious effects are those of intuition and premonition. More disturbing effects involve apparitions, e.g. ghosts, whereby the quantum event is so strong as to appear real even though it never manifests in reality (which is why ghosts cannot be recorded on physical media). Quantum lag also explains why properties of elements in the quantum realm appear to change faster than allowed by the speed of light, referred to as quantum entanglement.

Player 1: Why the fuck did I die!? I had full shields and there's noone near me! Mcsnazzy498 killed me? Where the fuck is he!
Player 2: Shit! People are glitching left and right! This is so laggy!
Player 3: How am I supposed to kill anyone when we're all Lag-Dying?
Player 1: Fuck this game, I'm leaving.

After drinking a few, you easily fall asleep only to wake up several hours later, wide awake and unable to return to sleep. The booze has upset your sleep cycle, similar to international or cross time-zone travel.
You: Dude, I had killer Booze-lag last night! I passed out after those margaritas at 9:30pm only to wake up with a vengeance at midnight. Too bad I have this presentation today and I'm wrecked...

An invisible beast that resides in the depths of online multiplayer games. It uses it's tentacles of bad connection to bind the player and pull him/her back the distance they thought they had already traveled
"Man! I almost got that kill, but the LAG KRAKEN pulled me back long enough to give someone else the kill."

The temporary change in personality that occurs after being deeply involved with a movie, book, game, or some other work of fiction.
Can also be expanded to nonfiction ("documentary lag" or some other variant), but is less common because those works are typically experienced through the frame of the reader/player/watcher's default personality.

CHRIS: Don't think. Don't hesitate. Just say it.
ASHLEY: Why are you talking like that?
CHRIS: What?
ASHLEY: You sound like a movie trailer. Is this because you just finished watching Fight Club?
CHRIS: Uhh... yeah I guess I'm a little fiction lagged.
