when someone (specifically a millennial) starts recording, freezes for a second to make sure its recording, and then continue what they were doing. kinda like when your watching the news and it flips the camera to a news reporter overseas or something and they kind of just stand there for an awkward few seconds and then start talking.

"(few seconds of silence)...hey guys! so today we are going to (blah blah blah)"

Unintentionally pausing a video at the precise frame least flattering to the participant/s, e.g. resulting in the appearance of a gurning or mongoloid expression.
The viewer is invited to imagine a low-res video of the State of the European Union (SOTEU) address, paused during a crowd shot. "Look at the Pause-Job on Angela Merkel, has she suffered a stroke!?"

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.
