To stand by

Phrasal verb.

To stand by means to be a lazy ass just hanging around, waiting for something to happen while everyone else is busting their balls. It's like being a useless spectator in a shitshow, just watching the chaos unfold without lifting a finger.

An example of ''to stand by'':

For example, if your friend’s getting their face punched in at a bar and you’re just standing by, you’re basically saying, “I’m too chicken to help, but I’ll watch the show.”
