Definition: The pause between consecutive sneezes (Merriam-Webster online).
Sample Usuge: "When I'm in the intersneeze phase my face looks like someone about to be a victim in a horror movie."
Popularity: It's a fine word for something without a name, but when would you use it? Certainly not when you're intersneezing; all you can do then is wait for the next explosion.
