.delayed() is a simple replacement for jQuery's .on() and it's derivative methods that lets you delay and even debounce an event handler. Delayed() is also great for hover intent and polling. If you've used on(), bind() or any of the other jQuery event methods, you already know how to use .delayed(). Unlike jQuery's .delay() method, .delayed() works with more than just animations; it works with entire events! Event better: It's fully chainable and context-aware.
