Waist is the part of the body between the rib cage and the hips. As a verb, waste means "to use carelessly" or "to cause to lose energy." As a noun, waste refers to either a worthless by-product or an act of wasting.
"Waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both."
- Benjamin Franklin
One's waist size is largely a function of diet and exercise.
