Double Standard

Being unfair with others yet enabling certain people to do what you didn't let the others do.

For example, you have a bowl of chips that everyone can eat from but you don't allow certain people at the party to have the chips.

Double Standards can also apply to genders. Like, it's not weird to see a woman wearing men's clothing but it's very odd to see a man wearing women's clothing. So double standards come in different circumstances.
(both men notice a shy girl)
Man 1: What's the matter with her?
Man 2: Oh, she's just shy.
Man 1: That's hot!

(the girls see Man 2)
Girl 1: What's his problem?
Girl 2: He isn't very social
Girl 1: What a creep!
Man 1: This is a Double Standard, my friends.

Female Standard Time

The difference between real time and the time a female perceives it to be. This is generally estimated by adding 15 minutes per female involved, up to 4 females (1 hour).
Female: I'm going to see a movie with my 2 friends, so I should be home by 9.

Accounting for Female Standard Time, she should arrive home around 9:45.

A standard of excellence defined by efficiency, logic and confidence. One must possess a critical mindset as well as an eye for attractiveness. Those who follow the Jing Standard are strong leaders, often intimidating those around them by instilling anxiety.

Schumacher Standard

The Schumacher Standard, the principle which states that no female shall be promptly tapped if she is not believed to be at least a five on the ten-point scale, such that four shalt thou not tap neither thou tap 3 unless thou intend on proceeding to five by whatever prospective motive or means.
Bro, remember the Schumacher Standard.

I'd tap that, but she's a four under the Schumacher Standard.

British Standard Handful

A unit of breast volume: the amount that will fit in one cupped hand. Sometimes jokingly referred to as a standard unit, with the inside of Henry VIII's right hand being the defining volume.
Sarah's boobs are just the right size as far as I'm concerned: one British Standard Handful.

spongebob standard

The spongebob standard is as follows: If a new nick cartoon comes out and it isn't a smash hit, nickelodeon will just ignore it, never give it reruns, never promote it, move the premier dates around and dump the last few episodes on their much less popular channel NickToons network while they replace it with more spongebob reruns
man i cant believe that Harvey beaks isn't on until later even though they said it was going to air now
