Standing on Business

To stand up for yourself and the principles you hold, especially in light of hard truths and people close to you whose actions hurt you or conflict with your principles.

There is an element of the phrase that does infer youre taking care of personal affairs or financial affairs or your responsibilities.

It can have a noble inflection or a selfish one,
But much like most language, context is key.

Stand-me-still

If you are talking to multiple people on AIM and just out of coincidence, nobody responds for a short period of time.
Person A is talking to B and C. A types a message to B and then types a message to C, but neither respond right away.

and so, it's a stand-me-still.

fat standing

The desire for a fat person to stand when they really want to sit because of the overwhelming fear of sitting in a folding or cantilever chair that may collapse easily because they are too fat.
When you are 400lbs, I've got to get to the meeting early to find a chair that can hold me. Otherwise I'll look like a fool if I'm reduced to fat standing. Damn my fatness. fat, fat fear, fear dew, fear sweat, fat sweat, heavy duty booty, obese, overweight
