calm before the storm
When you're holding it in, there will often be about 5-10 minutes where you really have to go, followed by another 5-10 minutes where the feeling seems to go away. This feeling is the calm before the storm, and you should take advantage of it and find a bathroom ASAP. Because when the feeling of having to go comes back, it's gonna be 10x worse.
Bob: Man, I really gotta go.
Joe: Okay then, I'll pull into this gas station.
Bob: Never mind, it's going away. I think I can hold it in longer.
Joe: No you can't, that's the calm before the storm. I don't want you pissing yourself in my car.

Blexas
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
