An awkward situation in which two pedestrians, who are on a collision course with each other, are repeatedly unsuccessful in averting one another. As one person moves to their right, the other person moves to their left and vice versa. Each time they attempt a new maneuver, the frustrated pedestrians find themselves confronted by their counterpart. To the casual observer, these two people may appear to be dancing, but in reality, they both just want to get on with their lives.
These encounters are far less common in Europe – especially in Germany, where the government enforces pedestrian decorum through a stringent "bear right" policy. Pedestrian face-offs have been known to last upwards of ten seconds.

Randy: I just had a pedestrian face-off that lasted a good 15 seconds. In the end, we came to the mutual agreement that both of us should step to our right.
Dina: Wow, 15 seconds?! That's gotta be a world record or something.

Get the Jack of all offs mug.Something you say to blow off a dude trying to pick you up at a bar. A portmanteau of pick-up and blow-off.
OMFG! This total loser was flirting with me and I just wanted him to shut the fuck up and I said "Sorry, I like boys with tattoos" then he shows me his back and he has a huge like artwork thing on the back! Worst pick-off line ever!
I had a great pick-off line the other day. I was like "sorry, dude. I'd love to talk to you more, but I have some over-ripe fruit at home and I'm itching to bake it into a pie."
