n. - The scenario where one, with no other options, enters a public restroom having to take an urgent shit, but discovers that one or more stalls is/are quietly occupied by other people with the same idea.
In an effort to be polite or keep from embarrassing themselves, no one in the restroom wants to be the first to squeeze out a loud, booming fart or firebomb a lunker into the water below for everyone to hear, so what ensues is a shit standoff.

Ned: "Dude, where were you?"
Larry: "I was in the bathroom. I would've been back 10 minutes ago but there was a wicked shit standoff in there."

When two people sit in two bathroom stalls and neither will shit because they don't want the other person to hear them shitting.
I'm so glad we have one bathroom with two stalls for 100 people at this fucking place. I've needed to take a crap for 20 minutes but Doug and Troy are in there in a Mexican shit standoff.

When two people are in a public bathroom stall and both are too polite or uncomfortable to let what's gonna happen happen, so they both end up sitting there for several minutes until one gives up and shits first.
Why haven't Trey and Doug been in their cubes? I swear its been all day.
Bruh, those cowards are probably in the bathroom having a mexican shit standoff.
