BlackBerry Break

A time out or pause during a meeting or training session designated to check and respond BlackBerry messages.

I was in a full day training session on diversity, and I was worried that I would not be able to check my messages. However, the trainers sceduled BlackBerry breaks through out the session so I was able to respond to my messages without disrupting thier training session.

Blackberry Tourettes

Medical disorder resulting in ill-conceived, random, rant-like messages being sent on blackberry or similar pda's. Normal delays caused by lack of proximity to Internet access that hinder senders impulsive natures have been removed with the advent of immediate access to the Internet via Blackberry. Hence, suffers of blackberry tourettes do not think of the consequences of messages before pushing SEND.

"WTF - I just got this message from Fred that makes no fucking sense. He is going to piss off a boat load of people with this. WHAT was he thinking??"

"Dude, it's just Blackberry Tourettes"

blackberry freeze 

the situation that occurs when someone is participating in another activity (exe. walking, talking, working out, etc.) and realizes that they have email, facebook notifications, etc. on their blackberry, and is forced to stop their current activity and respond to multiple forms of communication on their blackberry before returning to their original task.

Look at that idiot stopped in the crosswalk, he pulled out his blackberry, saw his messages, and now is stuck in a blackberry freeze right in the middle of the street.
