When watching a film with your girlfriend and you feel that this "party" gots to be started. You pull the pause button, which in other words is pausing the movie and then making out and "other" stuff.
The other day I pulled the Pause Button on her, it was awesome, I think later I will push it again and use it on myself!

The (often awkward) break in an online conversation that occurs after someone references and/or asks something which you have no idea about. The break lasts as long as it takes you to google search the aforementioned 'something' and (usually) click on the wikipedia article for it and skim-read the first paragraph or so. After the break, you proceed to pretend there was no break in the conversation, and you attempt to pass your newfound knowledge off as something you've known for ages.
