sploosh delay

Sploosh Delay is the silence that occurs for about 2 or 3 seconds after a port-o-potty has been tipped over. After this silence, a fairly loud "splooshing" sound can easily be heard. At this point, whatever was inside the toilet will come flowing out of the openings at the top of the port-o-potty, and also out of the door if it was tipped on its face.

Hellraiser 1: Alright dude it's down! Let's get the fuck out of here!!

Hellraiser 2: I don't hear anything, was it empty?

Hellraiser 1: No man, that's just sploosh delay. Give it another second...there it goes!!

Hellraiser 2: That's fuckin' nasty!! There is fucking brown water pouring out of the top, and it smells like shit!!

Text Delay

The event which happens during an IM or Text message when a question is asked along with a statement, resulting in a reaction to the statement and a second statement by the first person. Finally the initial question is answered and the delay causes a mix up in the conversation.

Text delays are sometimes caused by slow typers or stories that take a long time to type.
