Waiting on
Yes, but 'waiting on' is also used to mean 'waiting for' in these parts.

Remember Marillion? Fish wrote a line in Slainte Mhath:

"Waiting on the whistle to blow"

which contains two Scots usages - waiting on, and the infinitive 'to blow'. Typical (not necessarily correct - advice please) English would say "Waiting for the whistle blowing".
