The fact that all chicks are bat-crazy, in some way. The partner must accept this and take it in stride, if they want the relationship to work.
Matt: I swear, Kim is nuts.
Jim: They all are. It's standard equipment.
A double standard is a code or policy that favors one group or person over another. For example, a guy who is skinny is considered weak, while a girl who is skinny is considered beautiful. Double standards exist everywhere, but usually go unnoticed since people take the side of whoever the double standard is helping.
A rapist will get several years in jail while a false rape claim only gets a few months. This is a double standard.

A concept that permits and excuses certain behaviors and actions from one group but violently opposes the same actions from another.
For example.
A bitchy self serving controlling female who steps all over men and uses them for her own selfish benefits is considered a STRONG WOMAN.
But
A self serving controlling man who steps all over women and uses them for his own selfish benefits is considered a MALE CHAUVINIST PIG.
A black comedian whose entire act is poking fun at the way white people talk, walk, dress, dance, & act is a comic genius who gets rewarded millions a year and is catapulted into fame and stardom.
But
A white comedian who pokes fun at the way black people walk, talk, dress, and act is a racist pig who will get booed off the stage and his career is forever tarnished.
Woman: "I chose not to get married or have kids to pursue a career."
Feminist: "You go girl. So glad to see a fellow sister stand on her own two feet and maintain her independence and individuality and not submit herself to the oppressive patriarchy"
Woman: "Why thank you. I also heard that Eddie also decided not to get married or have kids to pursue his career".
Feminist: "What's wrong with him? Afraid of commitment? Too irresponsible to be a father? So shallow that he puts money and a career above having a family?"
Woman: (Thinking to herself) "Hmm isn't that a double standard?"

For something to be standard issue is for it to be completely ordinary, average, nothing special, or unimpressive.
Ordinarily used when someone believes something they did to be amazing when it is in fact very much not.
Yahtzee!
Wow... pretty standard issue.
I'm the millionith visitor!
Sounds standard issue.

The second smartest breed of dog in the world and the second largest variety of poodle (out of teacup, toy, miniature, standard and royal standard).
Usually averages around 60lbs and 15 inches high at the shoulder.
Comes in white, black, brown, red and rarely, piebald.
Classed under Non-Sporting in the AKC.
They were originally bred in Germany and/or France for duck-hunting in cold water, which gave rise to the Continental Cut, more commonly known as the "oh-god-that-dog-looks-ridiculous" cut, used to protect the dogs joints in the cold temperatures, while shaving unnecessary hair to cut down on the weight of the coat. All smaller and larger varieties of poodle came from this size.
They are not prissy whatsoever, in that they love mud, rough-housing, and getting generally filthy, but they do seem to know it when they come home from the groomers looking great. They also have a deep, resonant bark that could fool anyone on the other side of the door that you own a large guard-type dog. They can be protective but are not aggressive unless their owner is in real distress.
They are tolerant of children, other dogs and most other pets, such as cats or hamsters (though my poodle has a real fondness for chasing cattle )
Most love to be showered with attention and fawned over by strangers as much as their owners, as they seem to know that they are truly something special.
Most people- "Wow! Ive never seen a poodle that big before!"
Standard owners- "Its called a "standard" and they are the original size of poodle. They're fantastic dogs!"
Most people- "Awww, she's so pretty! What breed of dog is she?"
Me- "HE is a standard poodle."

A jazz standard refers to some of the most important songs in the repertoire of any jazz musician. Songs become standards when they become popular with both musicians, and also with listeners, as they become more and more familiar.
There is no set list of which songs are standards, and this will change and shift with the musical tastes and perferences of the time. Real books and fake books, along with exam books for jazz music exams will give some idea of which songs are standards.
Many songs were written by jazz composers, but this is not an absolute rule. Similarly, it is common to find several versions of the same song by different artists, with different chord usages. Some tunes come from Broadway and musicals, whilst others come from popular tunes.
It is necessary for a jazz musician to become familiar with many of these standards and so a large part of time spent learning to play jazz will likely be spent in studying these.
Stella By Starlight, Watermelon Man and Three Views To A Secret are all examples of jazz standards

Comes down to standards in etiquette and social harmony; caste. Ethics, Morals, Virtue, and Quality.
Drugs are known to remove inhibitions, thus destroying the most basic social STANDARDS.
