pregnant pause

The silence that occurs after someone has said or done something that leaves everyone who bore witness to the event speechless.

The first cousin of awkward silence.

A pregnant pause often occurs when something that requires a sarcastic response happens, but no one quite knows what to day or do.

In the middle of a group of people having a conversation, Michael picks his nose and then eats it. All conversation ceases.

infopause n. (information + pause)

infopause n. (information + pause)

staying away from computers, newspapers and other sources of information in order to recover from informational stress.

The infopause may take from several minutes to several months, depending on the gravity of the initial affliction.

Every business should introduce at least two five-minute infopauses during the working day. All computers and all lights are off. This will refresh employees' ability to process new information.
