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*

Get the Soda Standardsmug. An internet meme in which any words containing a “k”, a hard ‘c’ sound, or an “s” are modified so that they now read as ‘KKK’ or as ‘SS’. KKK and SS, of course, obviously referencing the respective hate groups. Originating as a form of coded language often used by online maoists, it is now used by much of the broader population, especially on Twitter, to describe racism and far right associations within the thing that they are mentioning. Some also throw it into random sentences as a form of satire.
Maoist Standard English is often used like this:
“Amerikkka is on the decline.”
“KKKapitalism is evil.”
“RepubliKKKans want to make the handmaid’s tale real!!!”
“Fuck BoSSton KKKops!”
“The BoSSton CeltiKKKs”
“Amerikkka is on the decline.”
“KKKapitalism is evil.”
“RepubliKKKans want to make the handmaid’s tale real!!!”
“Fuck BoSSton KKKops!”
“The BoSSton CeltiKKKs”

Friend 2: "It is Tuesday!"
Friend 1: "OMG haha wow. See I got confused cause I had two similar events today and yesterday."
Friend 2: "You must be stuck in Pandemic Standard Time"
