When you click on a video one of your friends posts on a social networking site, which leads to another similar video, and then... 3 hours later you're still in a swirling video vortex and your ass has fallen asleep.
"Man, I clicked on a video that Sal LaPuma posted on Facebook and got sucked into a YouTube Vortex for two hours! I'm behind on my work now."

The Gravity VORTEX is the world’s first portable gravity smoking device that hits like a gravity bong and is smooth like a vaporizer. Winner of the gold medal at the 2006 High Times Cannabis Cup, the VORTEX is quickly taking the smoking world by storm.
As the water drains, filtered smoke fills the top chamber, clean, cool hit that wont hurt your lungs. Its made of high quality poly carbonate, so its virtually indestructible. Perfect for dorm rooms, outdoor adventures, and small enough to put in your backpack and bring to a party.
It is very easy-to-use and fun for parties. You only have to use a small amount of product to get the same effect as a vaporizer. Everyone will have a fun time watching the physics drain the water to the bottom chamber, while at the same time pulling a 2-liter bottle size gravity hit. The days of messy bottles and buckets are over.
In addition to being a fun and social way to smoke, the VORTEX is endorsed by the medical smoking community for the therapeutic benefits it provides. Patients now have new relief and comfort for their illnesses.

One's inability to steer one's focus away from certain web sites known for containing large amounts of snippets of entertaining content or having exceedingly high link density, such as Wikipedia, IMDB, Urban Dictionary, or TV Tropes. Typically, snapping out of this trance requires a powerful external stimulus, such as hunger, fatigue, a nagging significant other/family member, or a power outage.
Man, I was looking up Johnny Depp's new movie at work the other day on IMDB and I totally felt myself falling into the vortex. I didn't climb out until my boss walked in.
Guy 1: Don't bother trying to talk to him. He's fallen into the vortex.
Guy 2: Well, he hasn't eaten or slept in about 20 hours, so he's bound to come out of it soon.

Matt said "Holy shit! look at that vortex of awesomeness!!!"
Over the years, Matt and Kyle have learned to extend their peripheral vision to 360 degrees in hopes of scouting out every vortex.
Shelly's vortex eats all other vortexes, as well as black holes, planets, stars and occasionally galaxies.

A weather system that results in record-breaking cold temperatures. Can also be used as euphemism for "really fucking cold" or "fucking freezing."
Schools are closed because the polar vortex dropped temperatures below zero F.
My heater broke, now my house is a polar vortex.

The vomit vortex is created by driving at excessive speeds down the pensacola bridge following 11 hours of binge drinking. The vortex creator needs to consume fish tacos prior to departure, lean over, and puke into the car's slipstream, creating a vomit vortex.
