Semper Standby

When marines are in the midst of being left with out orders, they are therefore told to "standby" Which can be from one minute to an indefinate amount of hours. Leaving the marine to do nothing but sit stare. Which in turn drives marines crazy. Which is followed by crazy ass marines, doing stupid ass shit.

stand-alone complex

A situation in which the observers can assume the conclusion that multiple subjects are acting as a system for a common goal (a complex); but truly, all subjects had zero involvement with each other and it was merely coincidence that they seemed to have a common goal (stand alone).
Police are looking for suspects for 2 murders and a robbery. at the seen of the murders and the robbery a picture with Justin Beiber with a gunshot to the head is found. The police take this as being the signiture of the suspect/s method of operation. At the end of the cases a suspect was found for each case but all of them had no connection to each other and the Justin Beiber picture was dropped by one suspect, another was already at the scene before it had happend, and the other was dropped after the suspect left. The police had just witnessed a stand-alone complex

Standardized Tests

The great enslaver. They bind the souls of man into a vast and uniform grid devoid of reality, of existence, of meaning. The tests are the infernal spawn of the infernal spawn of evil- they take education and crush it down into bubbles, which they further crush into your poor mind. So called "educators," make the children take the ACTs, SATs, etc. only to harness what was good in their life and crush it away. The tests have no purpose but to destroy, to conquer, to cause anguish to the wretched and miserable test-takers. They reify all that is bad, wrong, evil, disgusting, putrescent, and filthy. There is no moral harm greater than being forced to take a standardized test.
Jim had to take standardized tests. Rather than complete it he stabbed his pencil through his throat and watched the blood gush out on to the neat answer sheet, filling in the ovals with the red pain they cause for humanity. Jim died.

stand up surprise

Noun. A person who appears to be of average weight and size based on their face and upper body but who has an ENORMOUS lower half. The term comes from meeting someone at a table and speaking with them for a while thinking that they are a slender person (based on the face and upper body) but then getting a surprise when they stand up from the table and you see their large lower half for the first time - hence... "stand up surprise". The top/bottom differential must be extreme to count as a stand up surprise.
"I was flirting with this girl all night long and I thought she was such a skinny babe, but when she stood up from the table I saw that she had a HUGE ass. She was such a stand up surprise."

American Standoff

A rest room encounter in which two stalled bathroom attendees are both faced with a desire to NOT beat the opposing attendee to the finish line (often called the flush line).

The courteous stall attendee will wait for the opposing, earlier arriving squat jockey to flush before making his/or her pioneering lunge towards the flush line. This thankfully prevents said lunge from becoming recognizable by two of the five senses of the unwitting number two participant.

A rare phenomenon, ironically called the 'American Standoff', occurs when NEITHER stalwart bung vendor have had a chance to advance their cause. Both sit in incoommodious silence while their equally taciturn cube mate continues to clinch harder than a vice grip.

The American Standoff winner is crowned with the crapshooter who is able to hold out longer than a fat chick at a salad bar, and more importantly, their opponent.

Kudos, gallant gastrointestinal gamesman - this flush's for you!
Hey Tim, you'll never believe how long I had to sit and wait before I won an American Standoff today. My lower intestine was more uncomfortable than a lengthy pelvic examination performed by a man with two wooden hands.

Hooman is such a stand-up guy. Everyone in the class confides in him. His lips are sealed and you can't get a word out of him.
