The act of deploying something (usually code or a product update) way later than planned. A tragic fusion of deployed and delayed, often caused by last-minute bugs, approval bottlenecks, or someone forgetting to click “Go.”

Unlike the typical hangover where you wake up sick and feeling like shit, the delayed hangover is a tricky little bitch.
This is the phenomenon that occurs when you have spent the evening drinking to excess. You go to bed drunk. You wake up feeling fine! You go about your normal routine- eating, drinking coffee and such. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, the hangover that you smugly thought you had escaped materializes. This is HOURS after you woke up. What. The. Hell.
Synonymn: Creeper Hangover.
Last night I got so drunk! I woke up feeling awesome so I decided to go see my parents, only to be ambushed with the dreaded delayed hangover. I spent alot of time in the bathroom and trying not to pass out. I played it off to my parents that I ate something bad.
Used to describe Jeff Bezos the day (July 20, 2021) he took his first commercial flight into space too late. King of Amazon may have had eyes on the wings and astronaut title but he didn't meet the requirements in time. The Federal Aviation Administration chose that same day to update the requirements to join the ranks of astronaut. It was the first major change to the rules since 2004. Turns out Jeff didn't get his wings or title due to not meeting one requirement. He only got a $5.5 billion honorary title and only 4 minutes in space. Gee, that was fast. Just one day before and he would have qualified. Well played FAA. Savage af.
Jeff Bezos spent $5.5 billion for an honorary title and 4 mins in space because he is a delayed space-u-later. Jeff is definitely big mad and probably butt hurt at the FAA for screwing him hard.
Nickname given to bales of marijuana thrown overboard or out of airplanes. Origin is reportedly from members of the US Coast Guard in the area of Southern Florida.
A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing peecalculus.
