Lag

A word that instills fear in the hearts of 'World of Warcraft' fanatics and those who would join the urb-nerd camp everywhere, as thirty or so people have offered irritatingly nerdy definitions for this bit of tech vernacular, thus NO ONE should post a definition with more than one instance of internet shorthand, because it gets really annoying to see online gamers deliver expositories upon scenarios that can only occur in front of a keyboard and a computer moniter. that being said, lag is nothing more than a digial device's irritating tendency to process input more slowly than it takes for the user to output it.

Me: hey, i pressed a button on my cell phone and it took a couple of seconds for it to register
friend: why's that
Me:I don't know, looks like my cell phone is a victim of lag

The act of becoming lagged: Because broadband is much like crack, we need access to it 24/7. When our gloriously fast connection slows by mere milliseconds we become irate and frustrated. In some instances, a feeling of malcontent creeps into the soul of the afflicted. Time and reality is distorted beyond recognition. This is what is common referred to as "lagging" in the gamer world. Lagging has been associated with the mysterious and random creation of acronyms such as STFU and WTF. Beware of those suffering from this affliction. Warping, twitching, and team genocide are common side effects of lagging.

Lagging will cause you to make irrational decisions, and incoherent statements such as: "I’ve been lagging ever since my mom called someone from china."
