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

jb standard

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.

Double standard

A female playing all sides, especially the males, is celebrated in music and other media, but a guy playing all sides is someone everyone is trying to take into custody.
Females quick to try and pick at everyone else's double standards don't usually see their own for what they are.

International Business Standard Time (IBST)

International Standard Business Time is a "time zone" that does not change based on location. This time is the same throughout the planet. If it is 10:00 IBST in Moscow, it is also 10:00 IBST in Texas. IBST allows international companies to sync with each other. It is most commonly seen in the 24hr format- I.e. 00:00 is midnight. IBST is the same as GMT, but as earlier stated, is recognized globally and does not depend on location.
