stand mixer

'the greatest invention in mankind' - Marlen Sittampalam
the stand mixer is literally the most overrated jaunty piece of machinery that exists, they normally cost like 60 quid but some idiots may choose to buy them for more. what is the point, if you have one of these, you are definitely the type of guy to send pictures of it to everyone flexing. People who own stand mixers definitely have maths tutors and fail their ad maths exams at gcse. you are a fat neeklen.
Marlen Sittampalam: 'I spent £500 on a stand mixer and it was half price!'

stand up guy

Meaning

A loyal and reliable friend.

Origin

The allusion is to someone who would be prepared to stand up and fight on your side if called on, i.e. one who, in the words of the earlier (late 19th century) phrase, would 'stand up and be counted'.

The phrase is American. The earliest citation is in the Pennsylvania newspaper The Charleroi Mail, April 1935:
"But he seems to be a stand up guy and loyalty, with him, seems to be less a virtue than obsession."
