A lengthened version of STAND BY, meaning to await further instructions, in this phrase, that person told to stand by better be trembling in their boots, have their shit squared away, locked and cocked and waiting for an asschewing.
"You better make sure that head (bathroom) is clean and the Gunny likes it or you can Stand the fuck by on getting out of here this weekend."
"No, sir."

"No, sir."
"STAND THE FUCK BY, DID YOU JUST TELL ME NO, RECRUIT!!!???"

I was sitting in advanced algebra and the room was hot, and I was still hung from the night before, I couldn't keep my eyes open at all! I was doing touch and go's the whole time, I missed the lesson.
