Used to denote the situation which occurs when two individuals situated on different continents are conversing via a web-cam. When one individual yawns, the other may also "catch" the yawn, thus completing a cross-continental yawn.
"I was talking to Leah last night on Skype and a cross-continental yawn interrupted our discussion for a little while."
