stand-up routine

Da bread-and-butter procedure of scheduling a comedy act but then never showing up.

If Billy Joel's "old friend" is performing comedy for Los Angeles audiences, let's hope dat he actually appears on stage when he's scheduled to, rather than habitually "giving them da stand-up routine".

break stand

A break stand is a technique used in an automatic transmission rear wheel drive vehicle to squeal and smoke the tires. The technique is executed by putting one foot on the break and the other foot on the gas. The brakes hold the front tires in place and the power to the rear tires will overpower the brakes and the tires will start spinning, squealing and smoking. If the brake pedal is then released, the car will accelerate forward while continuing to squeal the tires for awhile.

Dude, that other car thinks they're hot shit. Do a break stand and show them what's up.

Stay true to your word or commitment.

Stringer: You don't have to worry about Wee-Bey. We can trust him.

Avon: Bet?

Stand

It is the manifestation of your own spirit and can be controlled using your mind or your commands. Comes from the manga and anime series Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. There are four (4) types of stands in the Ability section, five (5) types in the Form section, and five (5) types in the Special section. The strongest stand known to all humans is The World Over Heaven but is not cannon due to it only being used in the game Jojo's Bizarre Adventure:Eyes of Heaven.

Jotaro: So it's the same type of Stand as Star Platinum. Not much range, but immense power and precise movements.
DIO: I wanted to try a little test to find out just how much more powerful The World was, compared to your Star Platinum.

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.
