The Kavanaugh Standard

This refers to the fact that most U.S. citizens who vote for judges do not do research the candidates and instead choose based on superficial criteria. E.g. can they boof?
How did you pick judges when you voted yesterday?
I kinda just picked names that didnt sound like a lady or a foreigner.
Ahh...the Kavanaugh standard

Double standard

A standard that works one way for one person or group, and another for a different person or group.
The reckless and careless girl that got in several severe accidents while driving intoxicated on ambien and alchohol or just drunk (and also got her dog hospitalized due to negligence) was the one posting public service announcements on all the electronic signs on a roadway about how people should drive safely or go to jail, drive drunk and lose their license, or to stay hydrated and not drive drowsy or sleepy, or preaching against cruelty to animals while asking for donations on TV ads. That's a lot like a mayor being on crack and having people arrested for smoking weed or any other drugs for that matter. Some people can poke fun at the double standard of another human and judge them, but don't want to get judged in return, they tell you don't judge me when they judge as much as everybody else.

Double standard

Double standards dont come from society, they come from people. Therefore any double standard in a female's favor usually come from females.
You could tell it bothered the female quick to point out other people's double standards to point out her own double standards, she still couldnt see how they made her as much of a hypocrite (or a narcissist) as everybody else (even males). A taste of your own medicine and shit isnt always delicious, is it?

Standard Sister-in-Law Unit (SSILU) [300lbs]

Standard Sister-in-Law Unit
noun
*| \ ˈsta-ndərd ˈsi-stər-in-ˌlȯ yü-nət *
Abbreviation: SSILU
Symbol: 𝓢 or SIL

Definition:
An unofficial unit of mass equal to 300 pounds (136.08 kilograms), used to simulate high-risk, real-world human load scenarios in mechanical, structural, and transportation systems. The SSILU is commonly applied to test the failure thresholds of furniture, vehicle seats, elevators, bicycles, airline cabins, and public patience.

Etymology:
Originated in post-war American slang, the term is derived from the stereotype of a loud, heavyset female relative—often portrayed as emotionally volatile and structurally compromising—whose presence tests both family dynamics and infrastructure load-bearing capacity. While non-literal, the “sister-in-law” archetype evokes maximum physical and psychological mass concentration in civilian environments.

Technical Classification:
Measurement Type: Anthropomorphic Load Unit

Mass: 300 lbs (≈ 136.08 kg)

Field Use: Structural stress testing, emergency engineering simulation

Design Benchmark: Most consumer goods are not rated past 0.8 SSILU

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. 🙄

Standard Time

The sense of time we used to experience, as we tried and failed to reclaim it on November 1, 2020.
She awoke on November 1, 2020, eight months into Covid world, four years in the Trumpian alternative universe, and found herself trying to name the daze of the week, wondering how many of them until November 3, 2020, when something or nothing might change, maybe a few months or hours, who could say, and was reminded that she was back on Standard Time. It sounded so nice. She was sure it used to mean something...
