standard ovation

The standing ovation everybody gives at the end of every performance, from the New York Philharmonic to the 6th grade orchestra concert. A sure sign that your performance was as good as people expected it to be, but nothing to have a conversation about the following week.

The clearest indication that you're getting a standard ovation and not a true standing o is if one person, usually a parent, gets up first, and then the people around them, realizing they might be accused of being less supportive, groan inwardly and stand up. This proceeds in a wave effect throughout the hall.
Another good way to tell you're just getting a standard ovation is that the old people don't stand up, because they don't give a fuck about stroking other people's ego anymore.

Most people are aware of the standard ovation effect, but unfortunately we can't go back to just applauding, because now it's not good enough.

There is no way to tell if you're getting a real ovation, because I don't want people to ruin that too.

Person A: "Woah, you're giving them a standing ovation? I thought they were pretty good but I guess I'd better stand up too!"
Person B: (inwardly) I was just trying to leave...
Person C: "Why aren't you standing? Didn't you like the concert?"
Person D: "Fuck that, I'm not getting up for a standard ovation."

Premature ovation

The crowd reaction at a live music event when the act on stage deliberately or inadvertently leaves a small gap before the end of a song, but then plays on, people think the song is over and clap / cheer.

The applause inevitably peters out quickly as the song kicks back in.

Jimmy was so drunk that when the band stopped playing for a second he had premature ovation.

Kneeling ovation

A blow job.

The gang of bikers gave him a standing ovation after his beautiful rendition of the song Anaconda. He in turn, gave them a kneeling ovation.

occation

An opportunity for someone (usually a soon to not be friend) to trump you in some grandiose all encompassing fashion so it appears as malice. The delta is so great, that it appears to be infinite and make you wish you were dead. So much so that if you were atop a building that very moment from which you could leap off, the time it would take to hit the street below would still be too great.

1.) Purchasing a dingy only to have your friend pull up in a 200ft yacht. 2.) Getting nosebleed seats to your favorite team only to have your friend appear on the scoreboard announcing his successful purchase of the franchise. 3.) Getting promoted at your job only to be told that your friend has a new position in a much warmer climate, working collaboratively on a new creative project with your boyhood idol.

"Well I just couldn't pass up this occation to tell you..."
