toolbox scale

The Toolbox scale is meant to best represent the jobs most suitable for societal misfits within Canadian industry. Some jobs are simply meant for the more unconventional types of personality. While these people in many cases cannot hold down more normal jobs in society, in many cases they thrive in their ideal occupation. The list is not all inclusive, and only encompasses positions where observation based data has been collected.

Toolbox Scale in ascending order, with a higher level of misfit at the top.
1- Roofers and Basement Cribbers
2- Asphalt Crew, Road Crew, Welders
3- Pipeliners, Oilfield Camp Staff
4- Tree Planters, Drillers
5- Seismic Workers, Well Completions Crews, Wireline crews
6- Vacuum Truck & Picker Operators, Earthworks & Heavy Equipment Operators
7- Hazardous Waste and Sanitation Workers, Painters, Plumbers & HVac Workers
8- Pipefitters, Boilermakers, Iron Workers
9- Electricians, Land Surveyors, Carpenters, Warehouse Personnel (incl Shipper-Receivers)

10- Truckers, Bus Drivers, Industrial Health & Safety Workers

Those seismic workers are weird, but they rank higher than tree planters on the Toolbox Scale.

large-scale fraud

Refers to a weight-loss rip-off where they photograph da joyfully-beaming "satisfied customer" standing on an oversized weighing-machine dat merely makes him LOOK smaller/slimmer because said machine is itself so much bigger than a normal unit would be --- it's all merely a matter of perspective, like when they used bigger-than-normal set-pieces when filming da early-teenage Macaulay Culkin because he had grown so tall at such a young age.

Large-scale fraud aside, another simple way of faking weight-loss results is to use an **earlier** photo of da still-somewhat-slim-at-da-time person (i.e., BEFORE he even STARTED da weight-loss program!) as da "after" photo, and then showing a **later** photo of da person and falsely labeling it as a "before" photo --- i.e., showing da person in his **present** tubby bloated status dat he ballooned up to **after** starting da calorie-filled quackery-diet, and falsely claiming dat it's da "before" photo! Disgraceful!!

Scale of attractiveness

Ok, so this is how you rate people
1 is really ugly, like Star-nosed Moles would be scared of them
10 is really hot, like Pamela Anderson, but 10x hotter

"Bro! She's definitely a 10!"
"All that make-up is covering her skin irritation, she also has loads of pimples, so you can go and get sucked off by her, but for me, she's a 1"

Trent Scale

The hardest scale in the world. On this scale if you get a 5 that is a 10 on any regular scale. Anytime you are rated on the Trent Scale you know it will be a harsh rating.

“How do I look?”
“Probably a 4 on the Trent Scale.”
“Yay, that’s like a 8 on a real scale!!”

CAT scale

A spectrum used to rate women incrementally using detriments rather than an integer inside a domain. A 1 on the CAT scale means the girl has something in her life or demeanor that warrants a negative perception equal to that of owning 1 cat (as owning a cat is obviously an easily measurable detriment to somebody's desirability). For instance, a girl being medically obese would be about 4 cats. Nobody would want to date a girl with 4 cats.

"EW Emily can't squat 225?! That's easily a 3 on the CAT scale"
"She asked me my zodiac sign right away. 2 cats right off the bat!"

Fro Scale

A method for measuring the level of humidity, depending on how frizzy one's hair gets once exposed to the air outside.

-It must be muggy today, check out this chick's hair
-Yeah that must be around an 8.5 on the Fro Scale

kashimo scaling

when a character's most significant/only scaling is against characters they lose to rather than characters they win against or are relative to.

Rengoku has kashimo scaling to Akaza.
Shinobu's best feat is she kashimo scales to Douma in speed.
I hate kashimo scaling, authors should just let their characters win their battles!
