An action taken by one friend towards another after being provoked past that individual's threshold or tolerance for annoyance, disagreement, or disrespect towards him/her. An Italian often has a much lower than normal tolerance for aggravation, and will prompt a "time out" by saying "Are you f---ing serious right now bro'?" or "How you gonna come off like that to me?". He will then place the friend (sometimes ex-friend) on "time out" for an indefinite time period, not talking, calling, nor returning phone calls. In extreme cases, the melancholy time-out-ee will try anything to get back together with his/her friend. The exchange of online, often sentimental, greeting cards are a popular option.
Jason had had enough... he pulled up next to Manny in his Camaro exclaiming, "That's it bro'. You're on time out!"

a punishment used by white people when a child misbehaves, in which the child is temporarily forced to remain silent in a single spot. This method is usually ineffective, as opposed to the method used by black people who simply beat the child.
white man- "I HAVE IT. EVERYBODY GETS A TIME OUT!"
black man- "SHUT THE FUCK UP NIGGA BEFORE I BEAT YOUR MONKEY ASS!"

A bogus, phoney baloney pseudo-punishment inflicted by soccer moms on their day care brats, after said day care brats have disobeyed for the 27th time.
The time out has a beginning, but never an end. Before the soccer mom releases the day care brat, the day care brat releases itself.

A way of rescuing yourself from a failed joke (it must be said quickly before anyone else can time you out) or a way of letting someone know that what they'd just said didn't work and/or was not funny.
"I'll buy that for a dollar! (no one laughs because this was only funny during Robocop's theatrical release) Time out..."
