Meta-Pause

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.

jar pause

Waiting to drop money into a tip jar until the person/people you are tipping are looking on, thus ensuring they witness your act of generosity. Not to be confused with "jar paws".

"The cashier had her back turned when I took out my tip money, so I totally jar paused."

Pregnant Pause

When you say something and are interrupted by going into labor.

"Hey hubby, do you want milk- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *baby crying* ."

(this is a very good example of a pregnant pause)

laptop pause

The laptop pause is when you are going to turn on your laptop in a public place and hesitate to remember whether you left anything embarrassing open last night.

I had to buy a second computer for work only so I wouldn't have to do the laptop pause.

Layfield pause

The pause you take when you’ve eaten too much but need to stop for a moment before having more.

After two rounds of Thanksgiving dinner, Rhonda needed a layfield pause before starting dessert.
