When a person experiences stoppage in their normal bowel movement patterns. A hiatus usually must exceed two days to be noteworthy, unless the person at hand regularly poops like clockwork.
Example 1:
"Damn guys, we need to hit up Taco Bell. I'm on a two day hiatus..."
Example 2:
Friend 1 "I'm starting to worry about this 8 day hiatus I'm on."
Friend 2 "Damn gurl, why don't you unload that shit on the porcelein city???"
Friend 1 "My boyfriend keeps asking for anal sex, so I figure if I say yes and then unleash holy hell 'by accident' he'll never want to do it again."
Friend 2 "......Um...."
Friend 1 "I figure it's worth ruining one pair of sheets if I never have to hear that again."
Friend 2 "That's fucked up."

Drug-user slang: When several friends are sitting in a circle, passing a pipe, and one user holds the pipe and tells us stories instead of fulfilling his obligation by smoking/passing. HIATUS: Holding It And Telling Us Stories.
Guy #1: (holding pipe) So, the cops came, and I fuckin' grabbed my beer and went up to them, and then...
Guy #2: dude! HIATUS!
Guy #2: dude! HIATUS!
