waiting with baited breath

What a cat does by eating cheese and then hiding silently near a mouse-hole for a furry varmint to come out looking for da source of da delicious aroma.
Garfield is shown to easily catch multiple mice --- i.e., one underneath each foot --- without even trying very hard, and so it's possible dat he was "waiting with baited breath", and so da mice just flocked to him. Or of course, it could also merely be dat said speedy specimens of omnivorous opportunity have learned by now dat said tubby tabby never actually eats da mice he catches or otherwise harms them in any way, and so they are less watchful 'n' wary around Jon's house than they might be in other people's domiciles where da resident felines actually may hunt said rodents for real.

waiting to exhale

That period of time a woman has been “sucking in her gut” to appeal to potential suitors for a long time, and is getting desperate.
“Dude, did you see Trisha at the 10-year reunion? I remember she always looked so fine, but she got married and had 3 kids.”
Hell yeah. She wasn’t waiting to exhale for very long! She didn’t just exhale, she damn well BLEW OUT!”

WAIT™

WAIT™ (WAIT—/wāt/)
(We Are IT™)
💡 A declaration, an affirmation, and a realization—embodying the undeniable truth that we don’t need permission, validation, or outside recognition. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. No more waiting, because We Are IT™.

An acronym embodying the spirit of the BLACKLiFE™ Celebration, that is BLACK™ | The Year. WAIT™ is both an affirmation and a revelation: "The wait ain't ovuh—the WAIT™ is here… and has been all along!"
More than a mere word, WAIT™ signals a profound awakening, a recognition that the moment is not ahead—it is now. It stands as a declaration of presence, power, and purpose.
At its core, WAIT™ unfolds into the phrase: "We Are IT™", underscoring a collective identity rooted in self-determination and intentional action. The "IT™" within WAIT™ carries deeper significance, often understood as:
Intentional Transformation—a call to purposeful evolution, shifting from anticipation to activation.
"Ain’t no savior coming, ain't no cavalry on the way. It’s on us. WAIT™—We Are IT™."

"I stopped waiting on opportunity. I became opportunity. WAIT™."

Uber Waiting Face

A particular look of confusion and impatience when someone is waiting curbside for their Uber or Lyft and they start to approach your car even though you’re not an Uber.
e.g. If you’re driving any car typically associated with an Uber or Lyft (Dark Prius etc) you will get the Uber Waiting Face. The ride seeker will give you the look and then start to approach your car.
