Waiting for the dust to settle.

As many think of today for some atmospheric clearance of waiting for the dust to settle, it is actually a moment for grief. That time shared and spent during the moments of having someones ashes and the distance it takes till that dust settles to move on.

Sad Joan recently lost her beloved dog. A pet she was always walking everyday, seen by everyone, and spoken to as their nearest and dearest.

Having a cremation for her long lost pet, she carefully placed the ashes upon her mantle piece.
Each day as her closest friends paid their respectful concerns, as they were waiting for the dust to settle. Then the days were becoming brighter again.

cash waiting

“a common internet phrase used by the lesser intelligent to display their immediate intent of purchasing a service or product”

Any decent decorators around that can paint my door today? Cash waiting.

Any decent motors kicking around? Cash waiting.

You're wasting my minutes

Phrase directed at a person you're speaking to--in real life or on the phone-- who spews mindless drivel, renders themselves irrelevant to your reality, or is just plain boring, and is therefore wasting your valuable time.

Origin: Derived from cell phone service plans that offer a limited number of free minutes.

You have a boyfriend? Why didn't you tell me that before I ditched my friends. You're wasting my minutes girl. See ya.

waiting to exhale

Based on the beginning of the movie "Waiting To Exhale" where a woman damages a man's personal property by cutting up his clothes, splashing bleach on them or burning them, cutting up the funiture and mattress, up to include damaging or burning his car after finding out he cheated on her. A woman will also most likely damage items or clothes that she bought for him.

When she found out I was cheating on her she went home and did a "waiting to exhale."

Playing the waiting game

To disguise oneself as a tampon, and lie in wait.

And now, I'm playing the waiting game.
