When you want to give someone a standing ovation, but are too lazy to actually stand...most sitting ovations consist of people sitting, clapping, and clarifying that they are indeed giving a deserving person a sitting ovation, not just sitting and clapping; also called a sitting o.
lazy dude: encore, encore (claps hands while sitting)
rick: thanks, but your clapping is annoying.
lazy dude: dude I'm giving you a sitting ovation, you should be more appreciative of my support.

After great sex, you pull out and clap for your still erect penis, letting it go flaccid to a round of applause.
“It was great, after I finished I immediately gave myself a standing ovation.”
A registered event Ushering Company in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, founded in August 2015, by Utibe Samuel Mbom.
After serving as the team leader of Mirabeeque Ovations for seven years, Utibe Samuel Mbom wrote the book, The Event Usher’s Handbook
The name ‘Mirabeeque’ was coined by Utibe Samuel Mbom from the word ‘Miracle’. However, Utibe means Miracle in English.
Person 1: Can you recommend good Ushers for my product lunch?
Person 2: Yeah. Mirabeeque Ovations. I heard they are the best in town.
When a crowd stands up and gives someone extended and rapturous applause, usually after that person did something amazing

The inappropriate response of applause regardless of the quality of the performance
The undeserved applause and standing ovation given to the singer for her mediocre performance was a prime example of ovation inflation.

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."
