jquery mouse wait action

Alright, I am working on see if i could make a action in jquery happen only if the mouse stayed over the action for x period if seconds. Basically the idea is if the user mouseover's on a button and they keep it there, after 1 or 2 seconds it would open up the submenu and the submenu would only disappear if the mouseout'ed it for more than 2 seconds... Any thoughts? The reason for this is to make sure the user wants to see the content and wants to leave it. It also makes clickless functions. Any thoughts? I tried basically if mouseover then setTimeout(init_menu(),2000) if init_menu(){mouseover then show but that didnt work.

What about something like that? Note, this is completely untested, but gives an overview of how I'd do it.

Thank for the code but it does not do what I want. This only after mousing over makes the action happen in 1 second. What I am looking for is when a user puts the mouse over a link it will wait 1 second then then if the mouse has not moved; it will fire off the link but only if the mouse has been still.
