I don't see the problem with the status report, as long as it's the culture that you usually only need a sentence or two. Imo in bigger stand-ups, there's more pressure to sort of "show off", which means talking more, and combined with having more people there already it takes forever and is really painful. But if it's just a handful of people who work together saying a couple sentences each on average, unless they're blocked or something interesting happened, it's fine.

Yeah I mean I prefer not to do it, but I don't hate the "small status report" kind of stand up. But I just question the "it isn't a status report!" line of explanation. If it isn't, then what is it? I often hear in response to this "it's just for blockers", but I have always found that particularly weird, because who just stays blocked until the next morning?

  Ya, the "just for blockers" doesn't make sense. As far as I'm concerned, it's just time at the beginning of the today to come together to figure out what needs to be done for the day. The issue I take with "status report" is that I don't care, at all, about all the little things people did yesterday. I usually just tune out and I'm most others do as well.
