    стоять в сторонке

    What does mean "стоять в сторонке" ? I see many times in the net: "стоят девочки, стоят в сторонке", but not its meaning.

    Thanks.

    to stay aside
    usually with a humbeled look.
    The quoted phrase is from the famous Soviet song with such a meaning:
    the girls look humbeled (on the dancefloor) becuse the statistic shows: there are only nine lads for ten girls.
    Я так думаю.
