To change the subject at the request of a friend who doesn't want to discuss something uncomfortable in a large social setting. I.e. if someone brings up your friend's boyfriend and they just broke up, or her job and she just got let go, you talk-block and change the subject quickly.
Hey, if someone asks me about work tonight, will you talk-block? I don't want to talk about how I just got fired...

Arter is a combination of the words Writer and Artist. To have Arters-Block is to have no inspiration to create art or write any form of literature.
This is a play on words of the original term Writer's Block, givin git a more universal creative umbrella.

I have been feeling so uninspired, I have a bad case of Arters-Block.
I can't paint, I can't write, must be Arters-Block!

Typers block is when someone is trying to write a new status or personal message and they cannot write anything sometimes because they can't remember or sometimes because nothing interesting enough has gone on in their lives.

Short for "developer's block", a state of mind where a software developer is trying to design and develop a piece of software for a certain purpose, but is struggling to write the necessary code. This is essentially a technical version of writer's block and artist's block.
Manager: Hi, how's the source code for next project coming along?
Intern, almost crying: I- I don't know! I'm so sorry, I'm stuck on the 413th line! This is nothing like any of my classes!
Software Engineer: hey hey hey, relax. RELAX. It's just a little bit of dev's block. You'll be fine. Just take a little break and come back to it later.
