OhMyIdiom (?) Waiting In The Wings


Meaning: If you're waiting in the wings, you're ready to take over a role or a position when you have the chance to do so.

For example:
  • In politics, there are always plenty of people waiting in the wings ready for a chance to take power.
  • Everybody knows that the chairman's son is waiting in the wings and will take over as soon as his father retires.
