      general equilibrium in the earth's crust, supposed to be

      stand higher than the ocean beds chiefly because the material
      of the crust has there less density.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   ISO standard cup of tea n.   [South Africa] A cup of tea with
   milk and one teaspoon of sugar, where the milk is poured into the
   cup before the tea.   Variations are ISO 0, with no sugar; ISO 2,
   with two spoons of sugar; and so on.
  
      Like many ISO standards, this one has a faintly alien ring in North
   America, where hackers generally shun the decadent British practice
   of adulterating perfectly good tea with dairy products and prefer
   instead to add a wedge of lemon, if anything.   If one were feeling
   extremely silly, one might hypothesize an analogous `ANSI standard
   cup of tea' and wind up with a political situation distressingly
   similar to several that arise in much more serious technical
   contexts.   (Milk and lemon don't mix very well.)
