stand your ground

A law that in some states lets you use deadly force to defend yourself in a public place if you see someone doing something suspicious and potentially dangerous, like being black.

stand your ground

When you fart mid-conversation with a person or group of people, and maintain your position after someone has expressed their displeasure with either the sound or smell.

Stan: "Dude it stinks, did you just cut one?"
You: "sorry about that."
Stan: "oh man, now you're gonna stand your ground?"
You: "absolutely. "
