When two groups are judged against different standards. The most commonly cited example: a promiscuous man is a player/pimp but a promiscuous woman is a slut/ho.
double standards aren't fair sometimes, but think about it...
a key that can open a lot of locks is an AWESOME key, but a lock that can be opened by a lot of keys is just a very shitty lock.

The standing ovation everybody gives at the end of every performance, from the New York Philharmonic to the 6th grade orchestra concert. A sure sign that your performance was as good as people expected it to be, but nothing to have a conversation about the following week.
The clearest indication that you're getting a standard ovation and not a true standing o is if one person, usually a parent, gets up first, and then the people around them, realizing they might be accused of being less supportive, groan inwardly and stand up. This proceeds in a wave effect throughout the hall.
Another good way to tell you're just getting a standard ovation is that the old people don't stand up, because they don't give a fuck about stroking other people's ego anymore.
Most people are aware of the standard ovation effect, but unfortunately we can't go back to just applauding, because now it's not good enough.
There is no way to tell if you're getting a real ovation, because I don't want people to ruin that too.
Person A: "Woah, you're giving them a standing ovation? I thought they were pretty good but I guess I'd better stand up too!"
Person B: (inwardly) I was just trying to leave...
Person C: "Why aren't you standing? Didn't you like the concert?"
Person D: "Fuck that, I'm not getting up for a standard ovation."

When you re-use the joke too many times, it causes it to become unfunny.
Guy 1: Haha that's what I did to your mum last night!
Guy 2: Dude that's just metro-standard, just stop..
When you make an album that has only 7 songs
"Dude, that's a cool EP"
"Actually, it's an album by Kayne Standards"
The weird mixture of surprise, resentment and anxiety you get when someone mentions having standards that are a lot higher than your own.
“I’m not exactly a great student,” John said.
“Neither am I,” Steven replied. “I feel really average — my GPA is only 3.48!”
John, whose GPA was 2.1, had a standard shock. He didn’t want Steven to think he was a dumbass, and so changed the subject of the conversation.
“How much do you bench?” Andrew asked Ryan.
“Hmm, not much at all. 220 pounds,” Ryan said.
Andrew, who could only lift 160 at best, had a standard shock.
“Yeah, I’m getting there but at the moment I can just do 210,” he replied.
When a certain gender can do something, but the other can't.
In The Odssey, double standards is when men are allowed to have affairs but women aren't..
