yearlong wait

When you just miss a bus/train going to your significant other and waiting for the next one seems endless.
If you're a male you basically feel your beard growing.
- I just missed bus #80 yesterday while going to meet my girl. Dude, that was a yearlong wait!
- But that bus runs every 10 minutes, right?

(cool and/or ridiculous definition) : what a virgin girl says in a Craigslist personals ad when she wants to find a random guy to take her virginity via a craigs-hook
Craigslist personals ad: all I want is to be waiting for the milkman to show me around

response to ad: I am also a virgin girl, but instead of looking for a random Hannibal Lecter I would consider selling my virginity.

The doctor said I am over, wait, he meant cool means that the "over, wait" part means overweight, but the expression means that it's a perfect comeback to anyone who calls you overweight or fat and you're not obese, but you're still overweight. But the point is that you're still pretty healthy. Maybe the cholesterol is a little high sometimes, but other than that, you eat healthy sometimes and sometimes eat junk food and so who cares if your weight bounces up and down a lot and maybe more up than down. I'm Superman Batman!
Jerk: Haha, You're overweight and fat!

Tony: The doctor said I am over, wait, he meant cool!

People: Cool!

Jerk: *Goes away.

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.

Dump wait

When you have to go number two but don't have a facility so you have to hold it.
