moment

a quantity that expresses the average or expected value of the first, second, third, or fourth power of the deviation of each component of a frequency distribution from some given value, typically mean or zero. The first moment is the mean, the second moment the variance, the third moment the skew, and the fourth moment the kurtosis.

The first, second, third, and fourth moments of a data set respectively provide information about the mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis of the distribution.

moment of zen

This phrase is mostly commonly found at the end of every broadcast of "The Daily Show", with Jon Stewart saying the tag line after the last commercial break, and throwing up a short video clip before the end credits.

A moment of Zen is something which inspires in the same reaction as does contemplating Zen koans does.

In Zen practice, deliberately irrational statements are sometimes used in Zen to jar persons into realizing the limits of the common uses of the intellect. One well-known example is, “What is the sound of one hand clapping?”.

Either of these instances can be applied to Jon's "moment of Zen", which often depicts political figures making fools of themselves, or satirizing the American public in general, so the epiphany can come from the realization of the satire, or the realization of how some people are just really, really stupid.

"Here it is folks, your moment of Zen!"

Moment of Inevitability

Just before a male ejaculates, there are premonitory sensations marking a point of no return—when ejaculation becomes inevitable. Some therapists call this the “moment of inevitability.” Once that threshold has passed, it is too late to delay ejaculation; it then occurs beyond the man’s control.

Masturbation helps men learn to recognize the "moment of inevitability" just before orgasm and helps teach them how to avoid premature ejaculation.
