How to use the term
Pause:

  • Person 1: Yeah, that guys got a lot to swallow, huh...
    Person 2: Pause. What you say?

  • We played with each other all night long...

    Pause. You what with who?

  • Pause. You said something that made me question myself, just there.

  • Pause.

    Okay, well, the best thing we could do is address the issue of homophobia so that no one feels the need to "pause" anymore. It's not necessary to satirize what two humans do with themselves. Accidently saying something that can be interpreted as gay does not make you gay, and always having a radar out for speech so you can call out "pause" suggests you've got something on your own mind.
