Shit Standoff
n. - The scenario where one, with no other options, enters a public restroom having to take an urgent shit, but discovers that one or more stalls is/are quietly occupied by other people with the same idea.

In an effort to be polite or keep from embarrassing themselves, no one in the restroom wants to be the first to squeeze out a loud, booming fart or firebomb a lunker into the water below for everyone to hear, so what ensues is a shit standoff.

Ned: "Dude, where were you?"

Larry: "I was in the bathroom. I would've been back 10 minutes ago but there was a wicked shit standoff in there."

Omani Standoff
A Omani standoff typically constitutes a standoff between a goat from Oman and a Libyan man. Over the years however it has come to describe any standoff involving man and animal.

History: circa 1800, some rogue Libyan pirates attempted to enter Oman through the Arabian Sea having circumvented the whole of Africa. Upon reaching its shores, they were met by the abundant goats that roam Oman freely. While the Omani villagers were busy tending to their crops further inland, the goats stood fiercely in the face of the pirates, and it was their determination that ultimately forced the Libyans to retreat.

Example 1:
Abudi found himself in a predicament. Having just arrived in Oman, he came across a goat. They stood facing each other refusing to give way to each other. It was a classic Omani standoff. In the end he had to yield to the goat, and find an alternate route.

Example 2:
As Harry, Ron and Hermione snuck around Hogwarts, they saw the light reflect from Filch's lamp as he walked around looking for them. So the trio entered the closest room and found themselves face to face with Fluffy, the three-headed dog. It was a Omani standoff like no other, as both sides knew the consequences of backing down.

Seattle Standoff
The common situation in Seattle of competitive politeness. Seattleites, facing each other in a situation that requires courtesy, will want to let the other person go first. The result is that no one moves.

Many of Seattle’s neighborhood streets are so narrow that if cars are parked on both sides the remaining street is only wide enough for one car to drive through at a time. If two cars are facing each other down one of these streets one person will have to wait while the other drives through. It’s considered common courtesy to waive thanks if someone lets you drive through first. Often no one moves as they wait for the other person to go first. It’s the Seattle Standoff!

American Standoff
A rest room encounter in which two stalled bathroom attendees are both faced with a desire to NOT beat the opposing attendee to the finish line (often called the flush line).

The courteous stall attendee will wait for the opposing, earlier arriving squat jockey to flush before making his/or her pioneering lunge towards the flush line. This thankfully prevents said lunge from becoming recognizable by two of the five senses of the unwitting number two participant.

A rare phenomenon, ironically called the 'American Standoff', occurs when NEITHER stalwart bung vendor have had a chance to advance their cause. Both sit in incoommodious silence while their equally taciturn cube mate continues to clinch harder than a vice grip.

The American Standoff winner is crowned with the crapshooter who is able to hold out longer than a fat chick at a salad bar, and more importantly, their opponent.

Kudos, gallant gastrointestinal gamesman - this flush's for you!

Hey Tim, you'll never believe how long I had to sit and wait before I won an American Standoff today. My lower intestine was more uncomfortable than a lengthy pelvic examination performed by a man with two wooden hands.
