Threadstarter / Original Poster Re: Being stood up Does it also mean - being left out?
If I go to a night club with a group of friends, and they mingle and dance with the crowd, unintentionally leaving me alone, can I say I am being stood up here?

Teacher Re: Being stood up Possibly, but not normally. That's just abandoned or ditched.
