Can I say "I am waiting out the game" when I want to express that I am waiting for the game until it is over?

Yes, that sounds okay. But I might say, "I'm waiting until the game is over" OR "I'm waiting for the game to be over". That is, "I'm waiting out the game" has a kind of nuance like you are somehow enduring the game while it's on - like it's somehow unpleasant and you have to "wait it out".

@Amic Thank you for such a detailed explanation. Otherwise, it is really difficult for me to understand why "wait out" always appears in example sentences at the same time as bad weather.👍👍👍

@hilocalpeople Ah, yes, I had not thought of that example but that is an excellent use of "wait something out". Like "wait out the war" or "wait out the bad situation" : ) : )
