Standing to sit

The right to sit at a place ie a cafe or resturaunt, as opposed to trespass.

Concept borrowed from law, where to commence proceedings in a court case, you must have "legal standing."

If all you want to do is sit, then you require "standing to sit."

This can usually be gained by purchasing something from the venue.
I was walking through the mall and all I wanted to do was sit at a cafe and check my smartphone. But I didn't feel I had "standing to sit" so I bought a drink prior to sitting down.

Stanning is defending / supporting something or someone you really like no matter how problematic they are to the point of being obsessed, delusional or looking away from serious things that harm people, even if it harms the very thing/person you claim to love.

Alabama Standing Screw

Allegedly originated in the dirty south. A sexual position in which the male stands on the floor, and the female lays spread eagle on the bed, allowing for maximum pounding and leg thrusts. See also Kentucky Leg Dangle.
I gave her the Alamaba standing screw, and now she walks with a limp.
