'Pause' — said after an accidental double entendre to flag it, as the successor to a worse phrase and the record's entry for the interjection that makes a sentence innocent by noticing it was not.
Personal note for the archive: I have used Pause unironically at least twice this week. Reporting this honestly because the record depends on people admitting it.
Sighting in a physical newspaper — Pause in a lifestyle column, in quotation marks, with a definition in parentheses. It has left the internet.
The record notes 'pause' is now said reflexively, by people who did not say anything ambiguous, as a joke about the reflex, and that the record has done this.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
