Designated Standee

Someone who will not sit their ass down no matter how many times you instruct them too. Usually do their state of intoxication or lack or common sense.

The designated standee stood up the whole trip regardless of how many times I told her due to safety regulations.

Design Despair

Noticing the over use of a design style or font in use in popular culture, which leads graphic designers to mental fatigue and despair. Severe cases result in murder/suicides using metal etched Helvetica letting, art deco lamps of slender women holding opaque spheres above their heads and starbursts containing the word 'New'.

Suzi exclaimed "Oh Brad! I just can't get over this Steampunk fad we've got at the moment. It's giving me serious Design Despair. If I see one more flyer using the Coffee Tin font I'm going to destroy (insert any significant cartoon cultural icon) by giving it claws and dripping blood.
