Similar to the pH scale in chemistry, The SWAMP (Sesh-With-Against-Meet-Parents) Scale is a 1-10 scale used to rate a guy/girl you are dating.
The idea is to compare how much you enjoy seshing (British, partying) with them, against how comfortable you think you would feel introducing them to your parents.
For example, if you were dating a girl who's an absolute riot and a great laugh on a night out, but maybe too extreme of a character to be your parents' cup of tea you'd probably put them at around a 1 or a 2. This is in no way a traditionally 'low' score, it's just heavily weighted to one end of the scale.
Alternatively, if you were dating a guy who is polite, very well mannered, who your parents would definitely love, but doesn't like staying out after 11pm or drinking more than two units in a week, you'd probably rate him closer to an 8 or a 9 on the scale, depending of course on your own preferences.
The idea for most people would be to find a partner who is as close to a balanced 5 as possible.

Yeah so I met this girl off tinder, she's fucking mental hanging out with her, I've never seen a girl do so much tequila in one night, absolute mad one, I'm definitely gonna keep seeing her but god would she ever not be appropriate to come to my cousin's wedding next month, on The SWAMP Scale I'd rate her at around a 2.

Get the The SWAMP Scale mug."Drain the swamp" originally means to get rid of the malaria-carrying mosquitoes by draining the swamp. Figuratively, "drain the swamp" means "to exterminate something that is harmful" or anything that most of the people hate such as corruption or government waste. This term is especially attractive for politicians during campaign.

Get the drain the swamp mug.Very old Brazilian expression, which means "all is (was) lost", with no turning back. Probably from rural origin, just think a farmer trying to rescue a cow from been stuck to death in a swamp.
It's used in situations like "The situation of the company was already bad in the Telecom market, then came the Chinese products and the cow went to the swamp"
