waiting for the fan to go brown

The intervening period of time between taking a potentially disastrous course of action and the manifestation of the consequences.

From the phrase 'the shit hit the fan".

Having given all his company's products away for free just to say that sales had been achieved, Ben stood back while waiting for the fan to go brown.

Wait what

A timeless phrase that is spoken or written whenever you suddenly realize what the person is actually saying, which often results in confusion or bewilderment. Honestly kinda comical in a way, as it's usually when the person says something unusual or unexpected that gets your full attention.

Doctor: Hey it's time for your monthly check up.
Timothy: Awesome.
Doctor: Did you take any pain relievers this past month?
Timothy: Nope.
Doctor: Did you experience any sort of sudden fatigue in your muscles, joints, or forehead this past month?
Timothy: Nope.

Doctor: Did you forget to take out the trash again?
Timothy: Nope, uh- wait what?
