First-known documented scale by an Eastern Bloc author (Nichita Smochină of Moldavia) created for men and women courting one another to rate flirting and kissing on a scale of 1 to 9 (Communist belief did not allow for a 10). The original scale was published in 1930 by Smochină's in the anthology, Cunoștințe Utile ("Useful Knowledge").
As the story goes, Smochină was in Paris at the time, and met a young woman who simply could not flirt or kiss. When he tried to explain to his friends how poorly this woman communicated and later smooched, there was simply no language for explaining this problem. That night, Smochină created the famous Smochină Smooch Scale in one draft. Many say he was divinely inspired.
The rating for #1 took off and gained quite a bit of fame internationally. In its original form, it was "Ăsta se sărută ca o sardină rece de la Marea Neagră" (This one kisses like a cold sardine from the Black Sea.) By the time is was used in speakeasies in Chicago, it had been notably shortened to "Ca un peşte rece" (Like a cold fish).

The following is a "scale" of how a depressed person's days can go. To make this less confusing, the person will be referred to as "Bob."

The Depression Scale
LEVEL ZERO: Good days
Bob exhibits absolutely no symptoms of depression, and may even appear quite happy.
LEVEL ONE: Standard days
Bob will appear fine on the outside, but on the inside he feels gloomy and disinterested. Don't expect him to tell you about it, though.
LEVEL TWO: Bad days
Things haven't been going well for Bob. Unlike level one where he just feels down, level two depression is where he actually has a reason to feel the way they does. He will most likely want to be alone, and will deflect all forms of conversation.
LEVEL THREE: Mental Breakdown
Bob has had an absolutely awful day and cannot suppress how he feels any longer. He'll tell just about anyone who's willing to lend an ear, and will probably start sobbing halfway through.
LEVEL FOUR: Self-harm
Bob feels so numb inside, he has resorted to physically hurting himself in order to feel something, anything. He doesn't care how dangerous it is for his health; he stopped caring about himself a long time ago.
LEVEL FIVE: Ending it all
Bob is done. He's been pushed around and bullied enough by the universe, and has decided that the only option left is to take his own life.

Get the Depression Scalemug. by amelia07 April 4, 2021
Get the michael scalesmug. A sort of poll that attention seeking females ask innocent people to involve themselves in in vain hope of it making them feel better about themselves. I would personally advise to never participate in these polls, as there is no right way to answer them. With an attractive person, voting low can make you seem petty and spiteful. If you vote high, all you are doing is feeding their already inflated ego. They know they look good. With an uglier person, the situation is even more delicate. Vote low, and you seem like an asshole for telling the truth and will surely hurt the asked. Vote high, and you seem like a lier. Don't partake. It's dangerous.

(Grenglish is another definition I made. Its a combination of gen Z + gen alpha brainrot + prison slang)
(Grenglish is another definition I made. Its a combination of gen Z + gen alpha brainrot + prison slang)
"Why do you speak a 2 on the grenglish scale?"
"Imagine a 7 on the grenglish scale. That would be horrifying"
Translations:
0 scale
"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
1 scale
“Yo, that fast brown fox be hoppin’ over that slow-ass doggo, fr.”
2 scale
“Ayo that speed demon fox finna bounce ova that crusty ol’ dawg like no cap, fr fr, sksksk.”
3 scale
“BRO THAT ZOOM-ZOOM BROWN FOXY SKRRRT-SKRRRT ON DAT DEADASS DOGGO LAYING WIT NO JUICE. JUMPS? NAH, HE SPINNIN’ THRU YO SOUL, YEET YEET YEET!!! 😩🔥💀 SKRT SKRT SKRT SKRT snacc alert”
Anything past 3 is considered to be at an incomprehensible level of brainrot, and is theorized to infect individuals with grenglish.
