Double-Standard Debbie

A girl who preaches that men should look past her looks and see her personality, but harshly judges men based on their appearances.
Deborah: Ugh, I hate men! All men want these days is a barbie doll with huge boobs and a big ass! They only marry the girls who look like strippers! Why can't a guy just accept me for me and love me the way I am?!

Jane: Well, Haiden likes you. Wanna try dating him?

Deborah: Hell no, he's 5'5 and works as a cashier. If a man's not at least 6'0 tall, he don't deserve me.

Jane: You're a Double-Standard Debbie. It's no wonder you're single.

Haitian Standard Time

About 45 mins or an hour passed stated start time.

In the event that, a Haitian event is being thrown (Birthday party, Wedding, Church, etc...) it is normal for participants to arrive 45 mins to an hour late.

This was derived from EST (Eastern Standard Time) and adding 45 mins to an hour for late-ness
