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.

Get the list of standard acceptablesmug. 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!

Get the Pandemic Standard Timemug. The typically-accepted-as-equivalent "pleasure-reimbursement" that a guy and gal exchange in a particular everyday romantic "transaction".
Two examples of standard rewards:
(1) If a guy allows a visiting gal to use his shower, she lets him accompany her into the shower and dreamily canoodle with her under the warm waterfall.
(2) If a misty-eyed guy wants to give a buxom gal a naked chest-to-chest hug, he'll soothingly massage her back all during said extended deeply-squeezy snuggle-session. (A variation on this "contract" would be that if she lets him savoringly play with her boobs and fondle her butt, he'll massage whatever other body-parts that she requests him to soothe --- i.e., her feet, shoulder-blades, neck, etc. --- for a similar length of time as he pleasures his thirsting hands with her "choicest morsels".)

Get the Standard pengmug. 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.

Get the Double standardmug. A major social problem that arises when an individual sets their romantic expectations and standards too high for decent people, who the individual likes, to be able to achieve. Normally it is fine to have some standards, but when descent people are unable to fulfill those expectations because of the large number of them and or because the expectations require extremely large amounts money and resources, require the individual to be in perfect physical shape that most people are not able to achieve, and or require the individual to be skilled at doing things that most people don’t know how to do that well, then the individual's expectations may be set too high. This is highly unethical to do, because extremely high standards tend to be very unreasonable and can prevent decent people from being able to get into a romantic relationship due to factors far beyond control.
Annabeth: Why is Emma so upset?
Lauren: She was in a relationship with a Johnny, but he dumped her because she supposedly didn't fulfill his expectations. The thing was his expectations were very unreasonable to begin with. He expects his partner to have flat abs, not to talk to other boys at all, and spend most of her time with him.
Annabeth: He sounds very inconsiderate. I am sure she will find someone better than him who knows how to treat their partner with respect. It sounds like Emma is another victim of the High Romantic Standards Dilemma.
Lauren: Agreed.

Get the High Romantic Standards Dilemmamug. It is a complex mathematical algorithm, that defines any Alpha Irish male's exponential decay of standard for a female companion for the night. The two variables of this algorithms are,
1) how much Guinness he had so far &
2) what time of the night it is.
JB Standart has a inverse exponentially proportional relation with these two variables. As night goes on, and the more he has to drink; the lower his standard gets.
