Much like the Richter scale which is a measure of the strength of earthquakes. The Cortina scale is used in the measuring of farts. The scale goes from 1 to 10 with 1 being not stinky to 10 being the stinkiest toot ever created. If one does not throw up it cannot be considered a 10.

Get the The Cortina Scale mug.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).

Overview:
The Morg Scale measures the depth of engagement between perception and appreciation; how something draws the observer beyond passive seeing or hearing into active, layered, multidimensional awareness.
Ranging nominally from 1.00 to 9.13, the Morg Scale quantifies the transition from ordinary notice to full emotional resonance.
Scale Summary
Range Stage Name Definition / Experience
1.00 – 2.00 The Glance Surface awareness; the first look, the initial encounter.
2.01 – 3.03 The Double-Take Recognition that something merits a second look; curiosity awakens.
3.04 – 4.44 Morgander The third look; disbelief, admiration, or wonder draws you deeper.
4.45 – 6.06 Morgany The layered quality that keeps revealing more; the magnetic essence.
6.07 – 8.08 Morganite Crystalline clarity —refracting into multidimensional light; disbelief and admiration
8.09 – 9.13 MorganTone Resonance beyond sight; emotional frequency felt long after the moment passes.
9.14 + (∞) Trans-Morg Pure immersion; when the boundary between observer and observed dissolves.

Interpretation Guide
Below 3.00 — The Unnoticed Realm
Moments exist, but we move too quickly. There’s data, not depth.
3.04 – 4.44 — The Awakening (Morgander)
The point where attention becomes emotion. You see instead of look.
4.45 – 6.06 — The Magnetism (Morgany)
Patterns emerge; curiosity becomes affection. The observer starts orbiting the subject.
6.07 – 8.08 — The Crystalline (Morganite)
Light bends. Every angle reveals new color. Disbelief and admiration coexist.
8.09 – 9.13 — The Resonant (MorganTone)
Perception turns to vibration. You feel the presence of meaning, not just notice it.
9.14 + — The Trans-Morg State
Beyond appreciation — unity. The moment, the meaning, and the observer become indistinguishable.
Applications
Art & Design: Gauge the emotional depth a piece evokes.
Relationships: Describe connection beyond chemistry — resonance.
Storytelling: Track how narrative detail draws readers from glance to immersion.
Life Moments: When something stops you mid-motion, note its Morg rating.
Fun References
“That view hit a 7.9 on the Morg Scale — refracted disbelief into pure awe.”
“Their duet reached a 9.13 — straight MorganTone resonance.”
“Most days are 3’s and 4’s, but every so often you find a Morganite moment.”
