A traditional form of beauty, typically for a certain country. Essentially just the ‘typical’ form of beauty. For example; in Japan, it’s a beauty standard to have larger eyes. Or, how in Mexico, it’s a beauty standard to have lightly tanned skin. Beauty standards vary from country to country, or from person to person, so it isn’t all the same globally.
Jessica: What are beauty standards?
Anne: A typical form of beauty in a country.
Jessica: So may I fit the beauty standard in one country but not another?
Anne: Just because you don’t fit into a certain beauty standard doesn’t mean you’re ugly overall! Different countries have different standards.

GF: Are you gonna give up playing Guitar Hero for Lent?
BF: Hells no, I gotta finish it in hard. I'll just take the standard deduction.
GF: Step aside, then. I just need to beat "Knights of Cydonia" in expert to finish the game. Nooch!

Someone who holds no moral standard sacred has no true moral standards. Just like anyone can say god bless you (or even write a song about god) without believing in any god, anyone can claim to have moral standards.
A lot of people who claim that they lowered their moral standards are full of shit, they never believed in any of the moral standards they said they had in the first place. They never really believed in the rules they behaved within, but for some reason mindlessly kept behaving within these rules, norms, and standards, unless everyone else was breaking them, then they'd go along with the crowd and do what the crowd was doing so they didn't end up standing or being alone. They would range from wholesome, plain, and almost Puritan (no cursing, arrest everybody for being human) to anarchist, depending on what everyone else around them was saying/doing. A true coward is not someone afraid to stand, it's someone afraid to stand alone.

When somebody tells you not to talk about anybody's business, then they go and tell everybody about a secret being out because they have no self control over their own mouth.
The loudmouth didn't blurt anything out about her own double standards, but was quick to blurt something out about everyone else's that ever met her, so hopefully those new people she was meeting already knew that about her.
