The act of pausing, or "standbying" the connection in an online game, primarily on Halo2. When standbying, the host of the game (the player that the other players are connected to) causes all of the other plays to lag into a Blue screen which is the "Connecting to Game" screen. The host, however, gain a few more seconds of Game-time before he himself is also put into blue screen. Expert standbyers are able to kill every person on the opposing team without ever going to Bluescreen.
There are different types of Standby, Normal standby, in which just one player does it, and Team standby, in which the entire team (or multiple people on that team) bridged their connections together and are both standbying which is also a lot more effective and a lot harder to lag out of.
Standby is done primarily in two fashions:
1) Pushing the "Standby" button your modem.
2) Unplugging your Ethernet cord out of your modem.
However, some more intelligent people find easier ways of doing this, one being UDP Packet Flooding (My favorite).
Although Standbying is cheating, some people standby only when they are being modded. Standby causes all of the modder's abilities (super speed/jump/auto aim) to stop briefly, usually within enough time to kill him.
Standbying ends then the host either lags out of the game (and you see a "Re-establishing Connection" screen), or when the host pushes the Standby button again/plugs his ethernet back in.
Only hosts can standby.

stand bying is a type of cheating in video games with connection. most common in halo 2 but u can do it in someothers games.
wen u stand by ppl go red bar or blue screen.
u can standby by
hitting ur standby button
having a team standby program so it will automatically stand by for you
take ur ethernet cord out and plugin it back in.
briging kind of goes with standbyin because briging alows ur to give connection to the standbyers on ur team

A girl that you used to have sex with, and still can, but you only go there when nothing better is available.
Dude: Remember stinky-pussy Ann?
Bro: Your standby girl from the coffee shop?
Dude: Yep. I hit that hard last night. She never says no.

When marines are in the midst of being left with out orders, they are therefore told to "standby" Which can be from one minute to an indefinate amount of hours. Leaving the marine to do nothing but sit stare. Which in turn drives marines crazy. Which is followed by crazy ass marines, doing stupid ass shit.
Pfc Smuckatelli: What are we gonna do today?
Pfc D*ckFace: Well, ssgt told us to standby. for god knows how long.

1.Used to describe a woman who you can have potential sex with but you can't screw her at the moment because she has a boyfriend, or lives far away, etc. so you put her on "standby" while you go have fun with some other females.
2. Basically a rebound girl.

Bruce: "Ey Ozzy, did you screw that mexican chick yet?"
Ozzy:"No bro, she's "standby pussy"; she's got a boyfriend, I'm gonna fuck her later and in the meantime I'm gonna get at these other bitches!!!"

The unspeaking, unable to function state of someone after taking a shit load of drugs.
Derived from computer lingo. When in Standby mode there is still power but the computer is not functioning. This is similar to the high as fuck brain.
