When a musical act is caught lip syncing in concert. (From the July 21, 1989 Milli Vanilli concert in Bristol, CT where the vocal track to "Girl You Know It Is True" skipped)
Ashlee Simpson had a Milli Vanilli moment when a song tracked played before she started singing on Saturday Night Live.

Get the Milli Vanilli momentmug. Viewing something, usually nature-related, so intensely beautiful that you can't even capture on your camera.
Liz: Oh my god, Emerald Bay is so GREEN. ITS SO GREEN.
You: I know you're having a Double Rainbow moment but you need to calm down or you'll fall off the edge.

Get the Double Rainbow Momentmug. by Dave2226 November 17, 2010
Get the cheryl cole momentmug. A form of psychosocial epiphany during which a person feigns newfound awareness of real or imagined peer admiration. Term implies a real or imminent loss of decorum followed by stunned recognition that one had previously underestimated one's value, status or importance.
Episodes are sometimes accompanied by an emotional meltdown often perceived by witnesses as distasteful and gauche, if not wholly disingenuous.
Derivation: The term's origin is thought to be Sally Field's acceptance speech of her 1984 Best Actress Oscar for "Places in the Heart". Though widely feted and highly-esteemed, the actress nevertheless exclaimed: "I've wanted more than anything to have your respect...I feel it, and I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!"
As the "get-off-the-stage-music" swelled, panning cameras for the live broadcast many pre-botox celebrities candidly exhibiting expressions ranging from pathos to contempt.
The term was quickly accepted within the lexicon as a mildly snarkish pop-culture reference applied to any awkward episode that provoked vicarious embarrassment for having witnessed another's regressive collapse of public composure.

Get the Mug Momentmug. When someone is such an idiot that you really need duct tape to keep your head from exploding while you listen to them.
I was having a serious duct tape moment while that whiny guy with no kids was telling me how to parent mine.
