poop delay

When someone is late because they (or someone they're traveling with) takes an excessively long poop, therefore causing a delay in the plans.

Sorry we're late to the poetry reading, we were set back about 20 minutes due to my husband's poop delay.

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."

Delay

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?

comics delay

Refers to an impromptu pause in labors that involve old newspapers --- such as cleanup or padding --- to read cartoons that you happen across as you're separating the leaves of the journals prior to using the paper sheets for their intended purpose in your task.

My boss takes a dim view of comics delays, so I just save out any newspaper-sheets that have cartoons on them, and then peruse said funnies during my coffee breaks.

Delayed Backflip

An impressive backward somersault done by lifting the arms and legs very slowly making it look like in slow motion.

IShowSpeed is the only online streamer with the smoothest delayed backflip.

Wow, did you see how smooth his delayed backflip was?

I'm trying to practice delayed backflip but my brain says no.

Jessy:Did you really just think you got athletes foot from watching basketball?

Harass, Cause Unnecessary Delay, or Increase The Cost of Litigation

I don't see how this isn't intended to do explicitly that.

Hym "I mean, if the lawyers need to sign as a guarantee that the filing isn't being used to Harass, Cause Unnecessary Delay, or Increase The Cost of Litigation then why am I being harassed? Why is me getting paid being unnecessarily delayed? And I don't really care about the cost of litigation but I did have to sit here with fluid in my brain for months. It's still there! Less now. I don't feel like my cognition is impaired as much. But I can still hear it slamming against the back of my ear drum... So, you're saying they can't do it but they're doing it. Exactly what this is intended to do. Harass, Cause Unnecessary Delay, or Increase The Cost of Litigation. And avoid having to bring me my money."
