The term Belgian Standards (often abbreviated as BS) originally referred to the relatively lower standards of attractiveness to which American expatriates held their compatriots while living abroad. The Belgian Standard has been colloquially dubbed "the expat's beer goggles" in reference to poor sexual decisions expatriates frequently make under its influence.
Another common reference to Belgian Standards is the Belgian Ultimatum, similar to the Desert Island Ultimatum in which one person asks another if they would sleep with a member of the opposite sex when stranded on a desert island with no other options. However, in the Belgian Ultimatum, the proposed scenario is generally used as a more subtle technique to suss out whom an individual would sleep with if they had to lower their standards substantially, but still retained a nominal modicum of selectivity.
An often-confused similar term, British Standards, denotes the opposite phenomenon, in which Americans living abroad begin to hold their American peers to higher standards based on the relatively higher attractiveness of the native inhabitants of the foreign country in which they live. In such cases, the so-called All-American moral values of the opposite sex simply do not cut it and fail to substantially improve the attractiveness of fellow expatriates.

Get the Belgian dip mug.Some of the most fun, awesomest people you will ever meet, especially the juniors. Often wear dresses that look like pirate costumes but are really 17th century peasant clothes. Known for doing dances that have Flemish names and end in -Kermis. Are often seen practicing random steps like polkas and waltzes, and humming catchy folk songs. Cross dress because no boys want to dance. Can be spotted at local folk festivals dancing. Full of Belgian swag.
Person 1- Whoah, look at the perfect waltz step that chick has!
Person 2- And look at those cross dressing dancers!
Person 3- Yah, it's the Belgian Folk Dancers, you didn't know they were in town for the folk festival?

Get the Belgian Folk Dancers mug.The Belgianoid BETA version was constructed by the IBM Corp. (Idiotic Belgian Machinery), originally as an enhanced coffee maker. Sadly, the device was so logically deficient that it could not even carry out this task and receeded into a state of Anti-Logic; which rendered the Belgianoid's extreme stupidity extremely lethal.
The Belgianoid BETA version has destroyed all its attempted follow-up projects. It destroyed the Germanator 3.11 with its immense stupidity, but at present it is unknown whether or not it is destructive enough to wipe out the Germanator XP.

"The Belgianoid is paranoid," cry the townsfolk.
"Wot??" Cries the Belgianoid; decimating the town with his extreme stupidity.
