Distraction

A person of the opposite gender which is not a significant other, but has enough "beyond friendship" feelings and possibilities attached to him/her that this person creates a major loss of productive time whenever s/he is available for contact.

The distraction is online. I won't get any homework done anytime soon.

Distraction

A self-created problem where another subject, object or person has brought your attention off of the activity, subject, object or person you were originally fixated on. This is usually caused by a lack of interest in the initial subject, or just plain weakness.

Guy 1 "You are a distraction."
Guy 2 " No, you just have a horrible attention span. Maybe you should work on ignoring your surroundings more."

Distraction

A new show (As of February 2005) on Comedy Central, it's alright.

There was this one bit where the host would give the capital of a country, and the contestants would have to name the country...The tricky bit is after they buzzed in, they'd get a bottle smashed over their head.

Host: Madrid
Contestant: *buzz*
Man: *smashes bottle over head of contestant*
Contestant: Duhh...uhh...Italy...

Distractivity is what you’re doing when you get distracted from what you should be doing. It's generally what you want to do, often what you need to do, and arguably, what you’ll do best.

John wasn't making much progress on the company's annual report, so he welcomed the distractivity of working on his website.
