Waiting

Waiting is short for "wasting time". If you wait, all you do is waste a disproportionate amount of your life just for something to happen, whether or not it's worth it.
I wasted 5 hours of my life waiting for the web page to load.

waiting for the fan to go brown

The intervening period of time between taking a potentially disastrous course of action and the manifestation of the consequences.

From the phrase 'the shit hit the fan".
Having given all his company's products away for free just to say that sales had been achieved, Ben stood back while waiting for the fan to go brown.

Washington Borough

A small town in NJ where everything sucks but nobody gives a fuck. A magical land where the cops are the embodiment of police stereotypes, eating donuts by day and arresting the innocent by night meanwhile little juvenile fuckboys get to ruin the streets by blasting rap snortin' crack, mumbling on and on with their ghetto-grammar. Here in Washington Borough you live under the protection of the reverse batmen and the only way to not be locked up is if you commit crime. It is unbelievable how many times if witnessed the most goofy shoplifting sprees and still continue to see those people march into cvs, or how I always see teenagers puffing vapes outside the local youth center
"Oh boy, gotta love Washington Borough!! Sure can't wait to have the entire PD up my ass because I'm not a criminal!!"

Washington Windpipe

A sex act where a male is going down on a female and she queefs in his mouth, which then comes out of the males anus, creating a windpipe sound effect.

Waiting Room

A place to wait for character.ai to go back up. A place every addicted c.ai user dreads. The cause of a fuck ton of campfires in c.ai’s subreddit.

c.ai users can’t handle waiting for 3 minutes in there because they want to talk to their anime gf or shit. can’t blame them though
I’ve been waiting in the Waiting Room in character.ai for so damn long. I swear the servers run on expired Wublin statues.

Waiting Simulator

"Waiting Simulator" is a term used to describe games, particularly mobile games, that utilize a mechanic of artificially delaying player progress through time-based activities, such as the hatching of an egg, the completion of a building upgrade, or the acquisition of in-game resources. This mechanic is often used to encourage players to spend real money on in-game currency or items in order to speed up the process and avoid the wait.

The term "Waiting Simulator" is used derisively, as it implies that the game is more about waiting than actually playing, and that the player's enjoyment is hindered by the constant delays. It is often used to critique the design choices of mobile games, as this mechanic can be seen as a way to increase revenue through microtransactions rather than improving the gameplay experience.

In summary, "Waiting Simulator" is a pejorative term used to describe games that prioritize time-based activities and delay player progress as a means of monetization, ultimately hindering the player's enjoyment of the game.
"I tried playing that new mobile game, but it turned out to be a total waiting simulator. I spent more time waiting for my buildings to upgrade than actually playing the game."

"The game was enjoyable at first, but once I hit the paywall, it turned into a waiting simulator. I had to wait for days to get enough resources to advance, or pay real money to speed up the process."
"I don't like games that use the waiting simulator mechanic. It feels like a cheap way to make money and takes away from the overall gaming experience."
