Noun: The actual clock/timeframe under which Christians in groups operate and actually begin whatever it is they are gathering to do, whether it's church service, Bible study, community group, hangouts, social events, prayer groups, or coffee, you are operating on CST when everyone is just that "little bit" late. This can mean five to twenty minutes post supposed-actual-clock beginning time, depending on region, denomination, or other factors, including predominant gender or parental status of the group's members. Unless you have the countdown timer on your PowerPoint before church service begins. Then, you're just a stickler for procedure and accuracy.
"That community group is on Christian Standard Time. We got time to make a pit stop at Chick Fil A for a large lemonade. We won't miss anything."
"Hey guys, nice of you to join us, what, you think we are on Christian Standard Time over here? The meeting started ten minutes ago."

Get the Christian Standard Time mug.A running joke among us Indians who always come late to any kind of fun events (parties, celebrations, attending religious worship, etc). We usually come 15 minutes to 30 minutes to an hour behind schedule due to laziness, procrastination, or having families who take forever to get ready.
It's also hypocritical cos we end up early for boring stuff like school and examinations because if we don't our parents will whip us for it.

"you live only 20 minutes from me, so I left exactly at 7 pm when the party started, and then I realised I forgot to get your present halfway through, so I drove 10 minutes back home to get the present, only to realise my dog Sultan pissed on the couch so I spent another 20 minutes cleaning the couch, then I had to take a 20-minute shower to get the stench off me, and my girlfriend Preethi told me to do the dishes so I spent 20 minutes on the dishes, then on my way to your place the shortest route had a car crash, so I took the route that made me late by 30 minutes, and I'm here now!"

Get the Derek Standard Time mug.Is not defined by a synchronization of clocks within a geographical area or region, but is represented by one single person who's community has accepted that her time runs differently from everyone else. IST is represented not by time, but by phrases, where depending on what she says in her announcements, the community can determine when she will stream and plan accordingly. Usually no one plans accordingly and we just tease her about it.
There exists 4 distinct times that IST (Irene Standard Time) exists in:
"Irene is asleep"
"Irene is awake"
"Irene says she'll stream but goes to sleep"
And finally
"Irene says she'll stream in an hour but it's actually 6 hours"
"Irene is asleep"
"Irene is awake"
"Irene says she'll stream but goes to sleep"
And finally
"Irene says she'll stream in an hour but it's actually 6 hours"
