Mexican standoff

a situation that nobody can triumph in, especially one where all people involved have guns

The Mexican standoff has become a cliche in movies.

Sesame Standoff

Whenever someone eats any kind of sandwhich of burger on a sesame seed bun, and once finished proceeds to pick and eat the leftover sesame seeds off the plate or wrapper.

Dawn: Okay... are you done with you're roast beef sandwhiches? Let's go.
Smitty: No way. Sesame standoff.
Dawn: For real? You embarass the shit out of me when you do this!
Smitty then starts picking every sesame seed off the wrappers.
Dawn: I'm never eating out with you again, dad.

Textican Standoff

This is when two parties (most often a couple) find themselves in a heightened state of readiness whereby both eagerly await a text message from one another while each is simultaneously unwilling to send one. Often, the first to cave is perceived as being a weak, ineffectual, or submissive.

bystander one:
wow, have they been like this all day?

bystander two:
Yes, each of them is poised to hit send...but...well, you know...

bystander one:
Sí, Sí. They've got themselves a Textican Standoff.

Mexican Standoff

This is when you go into a public restroom, into a stall and another person comes in and sits in the stall next to you. Neither of you drop a deuce, waiting for the other to drop first. It makes for a sometimes tense situation

Damn... I was just in the men's room and got caught in a mexican standoff. I finally got up and left. I'm going to give it another try in a few minutes.

stop sign standoff

When 2 or more cars pull up to an intersection with stop signs and each driver waits for the other person to make the first move though the intersection.

I would have been here sooner but I got stuck behind a car at a four way stop and nobody would move, it was like a stop sign standoff

textual standoff

When a man and woman, not yet in a committed relationship, hold out on texting each other, typically after a sexual encounter with each other, for fear of their partner thinking that they are "too clingy." Similar to a wild west standoff, except with texts not revolvers.

Manuel- Have you heard from Sarah since that party last weekend?
Craig- No, we banged in the bathroom, but now I'm in a textual standoff with her.
