ANSI standard /an'see stan'd*rd/
The ANSI standard usage of `ANSI standard' refers to any practice
which is typical or broadly done. It's most appropriately applied to
things that everyone does that are not quite regulation. For example:
ANSI standard shaking of a laser printer cartridge to get extra life
from it, or the ANSI standard word tripling in names of usenet alt
groups.

ANSI standard pizza /an'see stan'd*rd peet'z*/
[CMU] Pepperoni and mushroom pizza. Coined allegedly because most
pizzas ordered by CMU hackers during some period leading up to
mid-1990 were of that flavor. See also [567]rotary debugger; compare
[568]ISO standard cup of tea.
