A set of rigid rules and regulations that dictate how one must behave or act to conform to societal norms and avoid any form of deviation. These guidelines are often created by people in positions of power who seek to control and manipulate the masses to maintain their authority and status quo. While on the surface they may seem harmless, in reality, they stifle creativity, innovation, and individuality, leading to a world where everyone is a mindless robot, blindly following the dictates of those in charge.
Sorry, I can't wear that to work, it doesn't meet the list of standard acceptables set by management.

The world doesnt try to shame females who think their social skills are perfect, the world tries to shame males who are perceived as having no social skills (though a lot of this comes from the same people who claim they're being shamed themselves, not society). The reality is there are no human victims, if theres one species that deserve to suffer, its humans.
Double standards are when one group's behavior is defended, but the same behavior in another group is condemned. So, pretending to suddenly jump to a male's defense when you finally discover oh shit, not all double standards work in a male's favor, or are perpetuated by males, or people other than yourself, and now you want to try and be the solution doesnt work. You are as much the problem as anybody else, you are as much the hypocrite as anybody else, even if you dont get that you are.

Also called PST. Used to define the non-proportionality of time while self-isolating at home during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
I don't even know what day of the week it is anymore. March lasted for 6 years, April exactly 6 minutes and May 6 seconds. It's like we're following some kind of Pandemic Standard Time!

In Finance, a higher standard deviation means the returns are more spread out, but a lower standard deviation means the returns are more consistent or stable.
"Last year, Stock A had a standard deviation of 10%, which means its price fluctuated by about 10% from the average return"

n. to disregard listed microwave oven instructions and instead use a personalized set time to heat any and all microwaveable food items
I can't find the box for the popcorn so I'll just use standard microwave cooking time (SMCT) and hope it doesn't burn.

Used by Christians to try and tell poeple not to have sex, get drunk, and do drugs. Seldom works but there is progress they believe. Some people are no long doing drugs and having sex at the same time....sometimes.
Christain-gotta have morals and standards guys, abstinence is good for you.
Non-Christian. Absta-what.
Christain-No sex before marriage
Non-Christian - seems like a long time, are morals and standards really that important?
Christian- yes, but its your descion
