A silent moment between two people (either gender, hetrosexual, homosexual, or bi-sexual) in which prolonged eye contact is made and initial feelings of attraction are felt. Often referred to simply as a "moment."
In the Mexican (2001, Dreamworks), Samantha (Julia Roberts) is in a diner with Winston(James Gandolfini), whom Samantha believes to be Leroy, and as they have a discussion, Winston gazes up and looks across the diner and makes prolonged eye-contact with another man, pauses, and then resumes his conversation with Samantha:

Samantha- What was that?

Winston-What?

Samantha-That. That moment you had.

Winston-What moment?

Samantha-Leroy, you just checked out that guy and had a moment.

Samantha-That was a moment.

Winston-I don't know if it was a moment.

Samantha-(Are you gay?)

A Moment Of Clarity

The shittiest metal core band in Massachusetts. Band members consisting of Vibhor Sharma as vocalist, Peter as guitarist, Kevin Landers as bassist and main fatass, JV as second guitarist, and Conor Deer as drums. With cheesy tag line "Girl you DTF?" this band screams immature, literally! The band was formed in 2010. Their first song released on Myspace was titled 'Places Where You Shouldn't Get Poison Ivy'. The band somehow manages to book many shows across New England. Even though defeat and cancellations have been faced because venue owners don't want "goth faggots" playing, AMOC finds a way. If you do see them live, prepare to be let down. Their songs on Myspace are so auto tuned that they sound nothing like represented. Also expect to be insulted and in tears for lack of better music.
Person A: Yo man, want to hit up a concert tonight?
Person B: Hell yeah, dude! Let's see whose playing at the Wonderland Ballroom tonight.
Person C: Guys, NO! I heard A Moment Of Clarity was playing there tonight. Remember what happened when we saw them live last time?
Person A: Fuck no let's go somewhere else, they're terrible.
Person B: Yeah! Let's go to a concert with a GOOD band.

I'd just like to interject for a moment 

A classic copy-pasta often attributed to rms but contains parts that he denied being from him. It's best used whenever you see a debate over the correct format of Linux and GNU/Linux.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
