Terry Waite

Terry Waite was the Assistant for Anglican Communion Affairs for the then Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie, in the 1980s. As an envoy for the Church of England, he travelled to Lebanon to try to secure the release of four hostages, including the journalist John McCarthy. He was himself kidnapped and held captive from 1987 to 1991 and chained to a radiator.

Christ on a bike I need to get out of this house I feel like Terry Waite - is the heating on?

waiting for Ricky

The act of spending time waiting for something that will ultimately be harmful or pointless.

1. I can't stand in line for these Spearmint Rhino fund-raiser tickets any more- we're just waiting for Ricky.
2. That guy with his hands in his pocket outside of the club is totally waiting for Ricky.
3. Waiting for rain is sometimes like waiting for RIcky.

Wait, what?

A phrase often spoken after answering a question with a rote or automatic response, only to realize you didn't really understand the question, and likely did not mean your answer.

Friend: "I know you don't like fish, so I went ahead and ordered you the raw squid."
You: "That's great. Wait, what?"

waiting list

Slang used by private schools to say "no" nicely. Few people actually get admitted from it.

For people who don't know, the waiting list is a thing (apparently) that they have that they collect people if it is too late to be admitted for the private school. If someone drops out of admission to a certain private school someone from the waiting list will be admitted.

That's what they say, but nobody knows.

"We'll put you on the waiting list."
"Ah shit the waiting list!"
