When used alone it is usually taken to mean that person is either a) heterosexual - as in "Bob hit on Karl last night even though Karl is straight!" b) honest - "Yeah, I trust him He's straight!". When used with another word it is used to emphasise the other word e.g. "Hey yous' straight trippin' man"; which means "You are crazy"... but might also be interpreted as "You're making a dreadful mistake."

n.
A device for opening and closing an electrical circuit; a vibrating spring or tuning fork, arranged to make and break a circuit at rapidly recurring intervals, by the action of the current itself.
v. t.
A system of compromises in the tuning of organs, pianofortes, and the like, whereby the tones generated with the vibrations of a ground tone are mutually modified and in part canceled, until their number reduced to the actual practicable scale of twelve tones to the octave. This scale, although in so far artificial, is yet closely suggestive of its origin in nature, and this system of tuning, although not mathematically true, yet satisfies the ear, while it has the convenience that the same twelve fixed tones answer for every key or scale, C/ becoming identical with D/, and so on.
n.
Anything furcate or like a fork in shape, or furcate at the extremity; as, a tuning fork.
n.
A standard of pitch; a tuning fork; as, the French normal diapason.
