Waiting for Godot

When one is waiting for Godot, they are waiting for something. This something will never happen and this someone will never show up. Normally this person is hopeful and certain that this something will indeed happen and this someone will indeed show up, yet they are wrong.
This phrase comes from the play of the same title written by Samuel Beckett.

ESTARGON: Let's go.
VLADIMIR: We can't.
ESTRAGON: Why not?
VLADIMIR: We're waiting for Godot.

Waiting for Godot-Girl

When a man spends all night waiting for a girl who should have come to meet for a date hours ago, but she never turns up. Similar to being stood up, but with more existential loneliness than just missing out on action with the ladies.

1: He's spent all night Waiting for Godot-Girl. Poor guy needs some self respect to ditch that biatch.

2: Sandra: Poor John's been Waiting for Godot-Girl, I better call him back and apologise for not showing up.
