How much of a rat someone is, i.e. describing one's level of rat. Often used in more formal and intellectual situations where the word "rat" is less understood or
may provoke altercation, but can still be applied to colloquial sentences as
well. The word's versatility measures one's rat-
ness without having to stoop down to their level. By using rodent rather than rat as the root of this word,
people who have rodent tendencies but do not have substantial evidence of rat against them are broadly encapsulated as well.
