Satellite Delay

The time it takes for a thought to register in the brain. especially after someone tells a joke, and it takes the other person a moment before they get it. This delay is known to be longer in blondes.

Bob told a joke, and Sally just stared at him for a moment with a blank expression. Then suddenly she started laughing hilariously. "Sorry, just a little satellite delay."

Relationship delay

The long pauses that occur between replies when texting or chatting with a friend on Facebook. This delay can be explained, after investigation, by their preoccupation with talking to their boyfriend/girlfriend, who is also online.

Friend One: Hey! How are you
8 minutes later.
Friend Two: Oh, hi. Sorry, distracted. I was talking to this boy.
Friend One: Relationship delay..
12 minutes later.
Friend Two: What?

Gay Delay

Pineapple Delay

When you're having sexual intercourse with a girl from behind, you stop and as soon as she ask's why you stopped you hit her over the head with a pineapple.

Dude I pulled the Pineapple delay against Michelle last night.

day delay

Where you're not sore the day after working out, but two days later.

Lifting takes 2 days to feel the soreness

Man, my legs are sore as hell. I got hit by that day delay today.

Day delay is always the worst pain.

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.

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."
