smart delay start

A start that is delayed from its normal time because of a smartphone use.

e.g. (at a petrol servo, while waiting in line)
- "Why isn't this car moving out, they've been finished for 5' now!"
- "They probably do a smart delay start! Honk at them! Or wait until they've finished texting."

When you can't make it to an previous fixed time and you have to delay it for a bit.

Pinv.: We'll have to delay. I can't make at 6 cause mom it's still home and she'll be all up in our business. Somewhere around 7:30 works for you?

courtesy delay

Refers to any pause or temporary postponement of a minor action (speaking, standing up or shifting your position while seated or in bed, switching on/off a light or music device, performing a "noisy" task like moving furniture or operating a motorized household device, etc.) that a thoughtful considerate individual performs (often with a moderate taxing of his own patience/bodily comfort) so as to avoid/minimize the startling/distressing impact of said action on one or more other nearby humans, such as a slumbering partner who is super-exhausted and/or is in a lot of pain or other acute bodily discomfort that he feels whenever he's awake, and thus the only time he has relief is when he's actually asleep.

Cool dude #1: Geez, buddy --- why da awkward limp and droopy shoulders?!?!???
Cool dude #2: (groaning in pain as he hobbles over to sit beside his friend to watch the ball game with him): Oh, just da classic "courtesy delay" woes, pal... I was sitting cross-legged on the grass with my girlfriend, and she had fallen asleep with her head in my lap... I knew she'd been up since 3 a.m. to help her mom care for her colicky baby brother, and so naturally, Mr. Soft-Hearted here couldn't bear to wake her up by changing position, and so I just hadda sit motionless on the cold hard ground with my muscles going numb and cramping up for half an hour till she finally came awake to turn over herself.

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 Flexing

Delayed Flexing in the simplest terms, is during the time that school comes back in, waiting to flex until after everyone else come back from the summer. Every body will wanna flex on them thotties when they come back from summer right? We’ll, wait till them broke ass boys are done and then come back one week looking fresh AF. Then you’ll stand out to them hot hunnies ya know?

Broke ass boy: Damn how is Tommy pulling all these hoes? I came back looking nice as hell and got no booty.
Other broke ass boy: Shit we all flexed at once and he waited to hella flex and now they don’t see us. He really got us with the Delayed Flexing
Brokeass boy: Fuck I guess
