peer agreement (net): +1The waiting game Explanation: In the sense of: Playing the waiting game. Or how about a little word play: Wait state Sample sentence: Wait states are a pure waste for a processor's performance. So in a way, waiting for the program to install is a waste of time for the person attending installation. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wait_state Reference: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/waiting+game |
