Summer Standards

The temporary set of standards used for finding a evanescent mate during the summer season, when most respectable candidates have gone home or off vacationing. It is appropriate for Summer Standards to be lower than the standards of previous seasons, and no judgment for the reduction of moral and physical standards can be given during this time.
Summergirl #1: "Ew, you hooked up with BroMoseph during summer?! He has a neckbeard!".

Summergirl #2: "Girl, it's all good, my Summer Standards allow neckbeards as long as they aren't gingers".

Standard Grandad

A person who likes their guitars (and everyone else's for that matter) tuned to standard E (Low to high E A D g b e). These people, who despite the name may be of any age, dislike the practice of tuning a guitar or bass to alternate tunings such as dropped D (D A D g b e) and show great disdain for those who do because...

Well, who knows.

These people could be the biggest Thin Lizzy fans in the world but wouldn't tune down just a half-step to E flat to play one of their songs correctly. They will often moan on about how it's not necessary to tune a guitar out of E but, when prompted for a reason why, they will just mutter, trail off and then be quiet again.
Standard Grandad: Oh, I see you're a Led Zeppelin fan, so am I! Favourite band since I saw em in '72, got all the LPs! how's about we jam on Moby Dick?

Drummer: Sure thing. But, uh, you'll have to tune your guitar to drop D, that's how Jimmy Page played it.

Standard Grandad: ...Forget it, I can't stand Led Zeppelin, bloody fiddling about with tunings *throws guitar in trash*

Double-Standard Declyn

The male version of a Double-Standard Debbie. A man who believes women should just see he's a 'nice guy' but then hypocritically harshly judges women based on their looks. Funniest part is that this type of guy usually has no intention of changing his appearance or improving himself to get the type of woman he actually wants.
Dave: I'm so tired of women! All they care about are tall guys with six packs!
Ivan: Alright, well, what about Hannah? She told she thinks you're funny.
Dave: Ew, no. I don't wanna date that fat wench.
Ivan: You literally are more out of shape than her.
Dave: I just want a woman who takes care of herself.
Ivan: You're a Double-Standard Declyn. No wonder you're single.

community standards

A bunch of KGB spies of their snowflake division monitor everything you post or say and put you in the Facebook Gulag without a trial or appeal. This is one small step towards communism

McCarthy Standard Time

The time difference from your chosen time zone (BST, EST, ECT. etc) to the one being used by a terrible time keeper. Usually meaning they will vastly underestimate the time they need to complete a task or overestimate how fast they can travel somewhere, making them the constant reason for delays in planning and execution of group activities.
Cal: I’ll be home in 10 minutes and load up a playlist as soon as i get online. So… gimme 20 minutes and we’re set.

Dan: Is that GMT or McCarthy Standard Time?

Jack: See you in an hour Cal. 🙄

list of standard acceptables

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.
