A way of breaking the connection for you advantage in an online game. There are two ways to do this:

1. Pull the plag out of your router.
2. Press the standby button on your router.

It is used to cheat, and most of the people who do this are little kids that can't get past a legit level 20 in Halo 2.
I was about to kill him, but he pressed the standby button and assassinated me.

The guy named steak shack is a fucking dumbass. Standby is when you are hosting an online game such as halo 2 you make everyone ekse basically disconnect from the game for about 4 seconds and in this time period you have to kill them real quick and then push the button again or put your cord back in or else it goes to the "ominus blue screen" as the dumbass said named steak shack lol stupid fat kid.
SOME KID:"FUCKIN NOOBS ARE STANDBYING"

ME:"Ya, it's probably that fat kid named STEAK SHACK from urban dictionary.com"

A girl that you used to have sex with, and still can, but you only go there when nothing better is available.

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.

Pfc Smuckatelli: Well you wanna go put on our flaks and practice spartan kicks?

Pfc D*ckFace: Oh fuck ya. ooorah. Thank god for semper standby!

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.
What’s wrong with your man?

Don’t mind him...he’s gone into standby mode!
