waiting the tables

When a story takes a character who once had a lot to do and gives them some throwaway task to keep them busy. The term comes from the movie Ratatouille, when Linguini, who was once the restaurant’s top chef, is discovered to be faking it and Remi, the rat, takes over the kitchen, resorting Linguini to waiting the tables.

“Did you watch the new Star Wars movie? Finn was waiting the tables. He had nothing to do.”

Wahito

The name for a quirky lady who's laidback, beautiful and insanely smart. Her fashion sense is chill yet she still manages to look cool. She's one her exes find hard to forget. Her only flaw is she's a heartbreaker. Admire her from a far, but don't get too close.

Omg have you seen the new girl at school? She's such a Wahito.

I wait for you

1. in a more sorrowful tone, saying this will sound more like "You left me here. Come back. Back to me."

2. in a more angry tone, saying this will make you sound like the guy singing 'finger eleven - Paralyzer'

3. something you say to someone, be it a text, call or a conversation. Mostly signals that you are expecting them to do something, that something can be anything

4. A weirdly romantic sounding version of "I'll wait for you"

1. Come back.. You left me here to decay. I wait for you here, for all eternity

3. constantly I wait for you to ______
