Mexican Standoff
1) A standoff. As used today "Mexican" is pointless & the phrase makes no sense. Do you ever wonder why it isn’t called a Canadian or Bulgarian standoff? Also note nearly all the other definitions in this lexicon that start with “Mexican” are unflattering to the culture.

2) Early to mid 20th century S Texas term for a rout. Colorful language used by the profoundly racist (white) Texans of that era.

Each sent servants for foor and water, and both stayed firm for several days, until the authorities made both of them back up.
