Lesbian Standoff

A situation where two lesbians are attracted to each other, but each side is waiting for the other to make the first move.

Me and Brianna were in a lesbian standoff for 6 whole months before I finally worked up the courage to be the one to go first and ask her out!

Mexican shit standoff

When two people sit in two bathroom stalls and neither will shit because they don't want the other person to hear them shitting.

I'm so glad we have one bathroom with two stalls for 100 people at this fucking place. I've needed to take a crap for 20 minutes but Doug and Troy are in there in a Mexican shit standoff.

Mexican Standoff

It refers to a no-win/no-lose situation. It does not require three participants; two is enough.

There's a 19th Century story in Mexico that illustrates the Mexican Standoff very well. Two horse carriages going in the opposite direction entered a narrow street and met halfway through. Neither could move forward, and each insisted that the other back his horse carriage up. Each sent servants for foor and water, and both stayed firm for several days, until the authorities made both of them back up.

standover man

Aussie slang for an extortionist who uses physical violence (or threats thereof) to extract payment on behalf of another party.

You might pay a standover man to get some money owed to you instead of going via the police. Perhaps you might order a few broken ribs or a kneecapping as an object lesson to go along with the payment.
