I've never ever had to say I wanted a standard briefing, unless I've
indicated I had recently received a briefing.

I ask for an "enroute" briefing.
Is that the same as your standard briefing?

There is no such thing as an enroute briefing.

There is En Route Flight Advisory Service (EFAS), but this is for
inflight updates, pireps, etc.

The preflight briefings are standard, abbreviated, and outlook.
