the point before a woman finds a GOOD prospect of a man...once she has exhaled...he could be a keeper
by Nnene April 18, 2006

Based on the beginning of the movie "Waiting To Exhale" where a woman damages a man's personal property by cutting up his clothes, splashing bleach on them or burning them, cutting up the funiture and mattress, up to include damaging or burning his car after finding out he cheated on her. A woman will also most likely damage items or clothes that she bought for him.

That period of time a woman has been “sucking in her gut” to appeal to potential suitors for a long time, and is getting desperate.
“Dude, did you see Trisha at the 10-year reunion? I remember she always looked so fine, but she got married and had 3 kids.”
“Hell yeah. She wasn’t waiting to exhale for very long! She didn’t just exhale, she damn well BLEW OUT!”
“Hell yeah. She wasn’t waiting to exhale for very long! She didn’t just exhale, she damn well BLEW OUT!”
