As in "To get stood up" or "To be stood up"
To have gone on a date, except to find that you've been left by yourself because your date never showed up.

1. I had a date with a really hot girl last week, but she stood me up after realizing she was way too good for me.
2. My sister got stood up by a jerk last night after going to the restaurant and she had to eat dinner all by herself. She's never going to see that jerk again!
3. I was really looking forward to my date last night with Jenn. I even made the effort to cook a four-course dinner and light candles in the dining room. But sadly, I got stood up and all my effort was in vain.
4. If you're stood up by a woman, that might be a sign that she just isn't interested in you.

Get the slowding mug.A question posed by Yossarian in Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 to find out why so many people were working so hard to kill him.
This seemingly rhetorical question is what one asks when one feels that everyone else is asking stupid questions and one wants to join in and/or point out how obviously stupid their questions are. Or, merely, because one wants to find out why so many people are working so hard to kill oneself.

Yossarian was a collector of good questions and had used them to disrupt the educational sessions Clevinger had once conducted two nights a week in Captain Black's intelligence tent with the corporal in eyeglasses who everybody knew was probably a subversive. Captain Black knew he was a subversive because he wore eyeglasses and used words like panacea and utopia, and because he disapproved of Adolf Hitler, who had done such a great job of combating unAmerican activities in Germany.
Yossarian attended the education sessions because he wanted to find out why so many people were working so hard to kill him. A handful of other men were also interested, and the questions were many and good when Clevinger and the subversive corporal finished and made the mistake of asking if there were any.
“Who is Spain?”
“Why is Hitler?”
“When is right?”
“Where was that stooped and mealy-colored old man I used to call poppa when the merry-go-round broke down?”
“How was Trump at Munich?”
“Hi-ho beriberi!”
and “Balls!” all rang out in rapid succession, and then there was Yossarian with the question that had no answer:
“Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?”

Get the Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear? mug.To escape an area, city, country etc. when you have done something immoral or illegal. Then go into hiding until things cool down and it's safe to return. Doing so may require staying at a random friend's place that no one knows about; and maybe obtaining a new car or identity.
Me: Hey do you mind if I crash at your place tonight?
Friend: Why? You know I'm all the way across town from you.
Me: Someone I know might've seen me with my side bit*h on the way to Red Lobster, I'm going Snowden incase my main bit*h knows too and is out lookin for me. She doesn't know where you live homie so its all good.
Friends: Damn yous a conniving nigg*, you could hide out here for a while fosho. My friend Dayshawn works at a car rental place if you need to switch rides for a min so it's harder for her to find you.
