Standby Stan 

A man who one is able to fall back on as a last resort; someone who is kept in readiness to serve as a substitute.

Nancy: Hey, why don't you ever go out with So-and-so?
Claire: I don't really like him, I just keep leading him on in case things don't work out with What's-his-name.
Nancy: Oh, so he's your Standby Stan.

Standby girl 

A girl that you used to have sex with, and still can, but you only go there when nothing better is available.

Dude: Remember stinky-pussy Ann?
Bro: Your standby girl from the coffee shop?
Dude: Yep. I hit that hard last night. She never says no.

Semper Standby

When marines are in the midst of being left with out orders, they are therefore told to "standby" Which can be from one minute to an indefinate amount of hours. Leaving the marine to do nothing but sit stare. Which in turn drives marines crazy. Which is followed by crazy ass marines, doing stupid ass shit.

Pfc Smuckatelli: What are we gonna do today?

Pfc D*ckFace: Well, ssgt told us to standby. for god knows how long.

Pfc Smuckatelli: Well you wanna go put on our flaks and practice spartan kicks?

Pfc D*ckFace: Oh fuck ya. ooorah. Thank god for semper standby!

standby

The act of pausing, or "standbying" the connection in an online game, primarily on Halo2. When standbying, the host of the game (the player that the other players are connected to) causes all of the other plays to lag into a Blue screen which is the "Connecting to Game" screen. The host, however, gain a few more seconds of Game-time before he himself is also put into blue screen. Expert standbyers are able to kill every person on the opposing team without ever going to Bluescreen.

There are different types of Standby, Normal standby, in which just one player does it, and Team standby, in which the entire team (or multiple people on that team) bridged their connections together and are both standbying which is also a lot more effective and a lot harder to lag out of.

Standby is done primarily in two fashions:
1) Pushing the "Standby" button your modem.
2) Unplugging your Ethernet cord out of your modem.

However, some more intelligent people find easier ways of doing this, one being UDP Packet Flooding (My favorite).

Although Standbying is cheating, some people standby only when they are being modded. Standby causes all of the modder's abilities (super speed/jump/auto aim) to stop briefly, usually within enough time to kill him.

Standbying ends then the host either lags out of the game (and you see a "Re-establishing Connection" screen), or when the host pushes the Standby button again/plugs his ethernet back in.

Only hosts can standby.

"Halo2modder4life: oh em eff gee they're standbying!"
"TheSpartan025: Only because you're modding, noob."

standby pussy 

1.Used to describe a woman who you can have potential sex with but you can't screw her at the moment because she has a boyfriend, or lives far away, etc. so you put her on "standby" while you go have fun with some other females.

2. Basically a rebound girl.

Bruce: "Ey Ozzy, did you screw that mexican chick yet?"

Ozzy:"No bro, she's "standby pussy"; she's got a boyfriend, I'm gonna fuck her later and in the meantime I'm gonna get at these other bitches!!!"

Standby

Standby is a way of cheating in Halo 2 Xbox Live. It is when u press the standby button on the back of your modem. You automatically go into the blue screen. And when you return everything is real laggy and the player who pressed the button owns everyone while he is playing perfectly normal.

Oh shit! My team just got standbyed in team slayer.
