standing O
Crowd on feet
A standing O is a standing ovation—applause delivered while rising to one's feet, signaling exceptional appreciation.
The abbreviation is casual and often appears in entertainment contexts: The cast got a standing O on opening night.
Sometimes used loosely for any enthusiastic response: Her presentation earned a standing O from the team.
