Textican Standoff Edit Meaning

1.

This is when two parties (most often a couple) find themselves in a heightened state of readiness whereby both eagerly await a text message from one another while each is simultaneously unwilling to send one. Often, the first to cave is perceived as being a weak, ineffectual, or submissive.

bystander one:

wow, have they been like this all day?

bystander two:

Yes, each of them is poised to hit send...but...well, you know...

bystander one:

Sí, Sí. They've got themselves a Textican Standoff.
