All the above is true. Operationally, a stall happens when you slow the airplane down and increase the angle of attack over the wing so it is no longer producing lift. Student pilots practice doing them so they know how to get out.
It is not particularly dangerous to do stalls if you are careful about it, but I find them to be rather uncomfortable. There is a possibility of going into a spin if the pilot doesn't pay attention. But that, too, can be recovered from.

The other day I did a power-off stall. I slowed the airplane down, applied full flaps, then reduced power. I raised the nose untill it buffeted, then the wing lost lift and the nose dipped. I lowered the nose some more and applied full power and flew away.

A loss of lift over a lifting body, usually caused by separation of the flow from the upper surface of the lifting body/ aerofoil.
Common types of stall by flow separation include leading edge, trailing edge and thin aerofoil stalling.

When a person is embarrassed by taking a dump in a public restroom and hides in the stall until everyone else leaves the bathroom.
Did you notice that Doug finished taking a nasty crap in the bathroom and was stalling until we left?
Ed kicked the outside of the stall door in a panic, "Jim, come out! I really got to poo! Everyone knows you just took a nasty one, why are you stalling?"
