Pause Theory 

The field of study intended to examine when to apply the word “pause”. The use of the word pause is the social phenomenon where statements that are interpreted to be homosexually suggestive, are swiftly interrupted with “pause”. This is said to maintain order and hold all responsible parties accountable. Another term used in lieu of “pause” can be “ayooo” (also spelled ayeooo).

Pause porn

While online gaming and surfing porn simultaneously, what you do so as to not get kicked out of a game when the other gamers complain of you being laggy - pausing the streaming porn movie or download so you can pick it up later without losing the story line or the download. A side benefit of pause porn is that you can alway alt+tab your way over to the paused porn for a quick "sneek peek" when the gaming goes through a boring patch...
Dude, you're so laggy, either leave or pause porn please!

Pause Artist 

The art of pausing shows or movies in an appealing way to your fellow viewers (can also be performed as a solo act, but it is more fulfilling when shared with others.) The paused screen is typically an especially absurd face or gesture, but is not limited to other pleasing images such as excessive cleavage or crotch shots. Some people are natural pause artists, but if you practice you can often hone your skill.
(Beth pauses Wendy Williams mid 'how you doin' to get something to drink.)

Jordan: That's a hilarious face.

Beth: I didn't do it on purpose, I'm just a natural pause artist.
