The Stand

A really, really, really vicious nasty brink-of-death cold of flu or similar illness that you truly and sincerely wish would just 'finish the job' and kill you already...

Unfortunately you live through every last stinking moment of it.

From Stephen King's "The Stand" a tale about an 'end of the world' plaque.
Winter of 2003 I must've come down with that "The Stand" virus. Ribcage felt like it was wrapped in a bandclamp from all the coughing.

I swear I saw a family of Ebola viruses packing for Florida it was so bad.

The man who will raise the standard of k-pop performances

The phrase is used to refer to ATEEZ's San. The title has been bestowed upon him by industry professionals and critics. Because of this, even if he is still early into his career, he is a role model to many other idols.
"You can tell he is born with idol's DNA looking at his perfmormance"
"He seems like he's possesed by the song"
"Thanks to that he wrote a new history at the 2019 MAMA"
"Choi San the expert of being extra absorbed in songs"
"He is the man who will raise the standard of K-Pop performances"

Lia Kim: "San has a very flexible body for a man. He's the one who can play the role of the center in any performance.

got the stank on

1) the post-coital vaginal smell that remains, albeit subtely, on a man's body, even after showering, for several days. This smell, undetected by the human nose, serves as an aphrodesiac and thus attracts more women to whoever "has the stank on" them.

2) a hot streak with the ladies resulting from "the stank" being on one's body
1) You'd better go out tonight, you've got the stank on you!

2) He's been on-fire lately. Looks like he's still got the stank on him!

The Standard Average Play

the standard average play is usually the best play available in poker. the standard average play, or SAP, was developed as a kind of anti-dote to The Fancy Play Syndrome. the Standard Average Play is what a SAP, or "normal" person might do, if that normal person thought through what was actually occurring in the moment at the table AND the Standard Average Play is what every Pro should be looking for, and should know, at any given point in the play of a hand. the Standard Average Play was developed by William Edward Harding and Kurt Dewhurst, two well-known Las Vegas Poker personalities.
you know, rather than trying to out-think everybody all the time and look like a genius, you might benefit from simply asking: "what's the standard average play here?" the standard average play is usually good enough, and usually where you're head should be.
