When two groups are judged against different standards. The most commonly cited example: a promiscuous man is a player/pimp but a promiscuous woman is a slut/ho.
double standards aren't fair sometimes, but think about it...
a key that can open a lot of locks is an AWESOME key, but a lock that can be opened by a lot of keys is just a very shitty lock.

Get the I just have really high standards mug.Warm weather footwear constructed of wide straps that do not cover the entire foot and are to be worn by men. Typically worn with straps that are retained at the ankle as well as the toes of the foot. These can be constructed of leather or fabric and must be of pronounced masculinity in appearance. These sandals can be worn as dress, casual, or active wear. Not to be confused with non-manly, light colored, open healed flip-flop type sandals or narrow strapped high-heeled sandals for women.
I was thinking of getting a pair of man-sandals, but I don't know, they still sound sort of gay. But then I saw my friend's Tivas, and knew I had to get a pair. Other examples are those worn by the ancient Greek men.

Get the man-sandals mug.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."

Get the standard ovation mug.Scandal DC is a crew of house music DJ's in Washington, DC. The crew was started in 2003 by Mike "FugAmI" Silverman at Lounge 201 on Capitol Hill and was named for their first party - The Scandal on Capitol Hill - which was a Wednesday night deep house event. Scandal Wednesday's ran for about a year. As the crew grew, so did the impact of their sound - a combination of classic Chicago style house, funky house, trip-hop, classic funk, BMore club, and just a drop of vocal electro for edge.
Scandal DC also manages Foundation, a classic deep house party in DC that's brought in such prominent talent as Fred Everything, Colette, Marques Wyatt, Chuck Love, Joey Youngman, and others.
Scandal has direct ties with mGrooves Records, a project of DJ Stylo, who serves as the Music Director for Scandal DC. This has led to the integration of Scandal's residents into the famed Lust4Life parties in Baltimore.
