standpoint 

A word used by someone who is not really that intelligent. They think they are, but are simply grasping at a catchy word to make them look smart. Normally they add an acronym or another fancy word.
While in a business meeting, the offender would say: "From the standpoint of EBITDA, we need to....." or "From a UI or API standpoint, we should.

Standpoint Demarcation Theory of Science

A feminist and social epistemology‑driven model: demarcation is shaped by the social and material standpoint of the knower. Marginalized standpoints may identify as scientific what dominant institutions dismiss, because they reveal hidden power structures. Science is distinguished by its commitment to impartiality, but impartiality requires including multiple standpoints. Pseudoscience often serves dominant interests and excludes outsider critiques. Standpoint demarcation is political but argues that politics can be epistemically productive.
Standpoint Demarcation Theory of Science Example: “Standpoint demarcation theory allowed her to argue that indigenous ecological knowledge is scientific from the standpoint of landbased communities, even though Western criteria might exclude it.”

Scientific Standpoint

The theory, rooted in feminist epistemology, that marginalized social positions can provide epistemic advantages—insights unavailable from dominant perspectives. Someone who experiences both the dominant culture (as they must to survive) and their own marginalized culture has double vision: they see things that those fully inside power cannot. Scientific Standpoint doesn't claim that marginalized people are automatically right—it claims they have access to questions, problems, and perspectives that others miss. Good science seeks out these standpoints not for diversity's sake, but because they see ghosts the center cannot.
"The clinical trial only included men, so the drug's effects on women were invisible for decades. Scientific Standpoint says: had women been in the room designing the research, this ghost would have been seen from the start. Marginalized perspectives aren't just fair—they're better science."

Epistemological Standpoint

The theory, rooted in feminist epistemology, that marginalized social positions can provide epistemic advantages—insights unavailable from dominant perspectives. Someone who navigates both the dominant culture and their own marginalized community has double vision: they see things that those fully inside power cannot. Epistemological Standpoint doesn't claim that marginalized people are automatically right—it claims they have access to questions, problems, and perspectives that others miss. Good knowledge-seeking seeks out these standpoints not for diversity's sake, but because they see ghosts the center cannot.
"You don't understand why that policy is harmful because you've never experienced its harm. Epistemological Standpoint says: the people who experience the harm have epistemic access you don't. Listen to them not because they're automatically right, but because they see what your position hides. Their standpoint is knowledge, not opinion."

Starpoint High School

A school located in the middle of no where often times referred to as "star farm". This school is slowly going down the drain after a food fight in 2009 that injured a police dog and left the faculty puzzled. Nothing fun is ever really planned and everything that is attempted to be, fails, despite the acts of an English teacher who runs around and dances. The backbone of the school is a 7 foot tall man who asks for passes and not much else, and his son who was got in trouble for watching child pornography also was employed in the district. But don't worry, the football team also has a horrible record as well as many of the other sports, but that does not keep Starpoint High School from giving it their all. Don't ever expect a snow day from the superintendent because although the school is located in one of the snowiest areas, that's not important! Who cares about safety when the school can get paid more money and invest it in over-sized rocks to make the parking lot look "nice"? That is of course the most important thing. If you are planning on attending Starpoint High School make sure that the assistant principal does not see you with anything less then fingertip lengthed shorts on, you will be sent home or forced to sit in a room with a man who never smiles, such punishment, we know. It's all just another happy time at Starpoint High School.
Hey didnt you guys beat Starpoint High School at the basketball game lastnight?
More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
