I think this belongs at "can't wait" rather than "not be able to wait" because using "not be able to" doesn't have the idiomatic meaning. Kappa 01:01, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to hear from someone how this is idiomatic. — Vildricianus 09:27, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- Well, the phrase is used only when one must wait, but would rather not. I think it is better described as a set phrase, rather than being idiomatic, though. --Connel MacKenzie T C 05:08, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
