Stand-back-stand-by Math

When President Trump repealed the “leftish” Common Core Math, approved by President Obama, with zero idea how to replace it with a better “rightish” math curriculum to help millions of US students compete internationally in math—he just wants to pacify opponents of the “left curriculum,” whose children can’t cope with it, in exchange for their votes.

Does the stand-back-stand-by math sound like some curricular or mathematical equivalent of the repeal-and-replace Obamacare? If politics over math could increase the odds of getting the president re-elected, the risks are worth taking.

stand alone complex

When collective consciousness manifests itself in a series of seemingly related actions by unrelated individuals without actual collusion taking place between them.

The term was popularized by use in Japanese cyberpunk Anime Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (2001), also recently (2020) used by the Tim Poole in his cesored interview with Alex Jones.

Jone: Just look at the most powerful people in the world (who are tax exempt) saying "We're going to shut the economy down to help poor people" - the UN's own reports admit that lock-downs already starved 2m people to death, it will kill 200+ million if it goes on for a year. They're bringing it back. So it kills dozens of times more than died of supposed COVID (we're not denying that COVID is a real thing, that it kills people), it's that the lock-down is meant to economically compromise us, put us into debt and consolidate power and control.
Pool: To what extent is this a grand conspiracy or stand alone complex? Are you familiar with the term "stand alone complex"?
Jones: Yes
Pool: Is it possible that Amazon is totally in favor of this, lobbies in favor of it because they realize - when you lock down the economy - people have to go to Amazon, people have to go to Walmart.
Jones: Sure, are they taking advantage of the crisis or create the crisis.

stand alone

Caused when someone you're with gets in a stop and chat, leaving you stood slightly away on your own, and very very bored. As painful as the stop and chat itself.

Bill: Me n Ben were in town earlier, he had a stop and chat with some gimp he works with and the fucker left me in a stand alone.
Bob: What a cunt.

Stand-by

(noun) Synonymous with booty call and FWB, a girl who you're not in a relationship with, but who will drop everything and come over to have sex with you the minute you ask. She is said to be standing-by, just waiting for your call, shelved as it were. A stand-by is usually a girl who really likes you and wants to be in a relationship with you, and keeps putting out, hoping you'll change your mind, and you just keep stringing her along for the easy sex. Women can have stand-bys too, but its usually more about dating than sex for them.

1. Daniel: "Man, am I ever horny tonight!"
Jonas: "Don't you have any stand-bys? Call up that Andrea chick. She'll come over and do you."

2. Krista: "I have no one to go to the dance with on Friday!"
Marie: "Call Keith. Isn't he your regular stand-by?"
