101 Scale of Funny
(also “Numeric Laughter Scale”)
The 101 Scale of Funny is used in internet chatting and mobile texting to indicate how funny one thinks of a comment. It is based upon a variation of the common internet slang “lol”. The numbers “101” looks similar to “lol” and is therefore the basis of the scale. The scale has a top rating of “909.” Hence, any “humorous” comment can be rated 101, 202, etc. to a high rating of 909.
The “101 Scale of Funny” was developed by members of an internet gaming alliance named “TruWar” in the game “Evony.” Member “Bound4Hell” started a conversation one May evening of 2011 by saying; “You ever notice when people say “lol” they’re never “loling?” It’s a big lie.” Member “ox” replied, “We should come up with a better system. Maybe something with other acronyms. Like, maybe something like ‘twosf’ for ‘That was only slightly funny.” The members of the alliance tried several different acronyms, but nothing seemed to stick. Then “ox” says; “How about 101? It looks like ‘lol’.” Bound4Hell followed that up with; “Then we could use it as a rating system. Like ‘101’ and ‘505’.” Everyone agreed that it was a fun, versatile system to use to rate comments. Members of the ‘TruWar’ alliance used it from that point on.
Currently there is no negative scale of funny. There have been some suggestions such as " -101 " or "010," however these have not yet been implemented.

“Did you see Uncle Randy’s face when Uncle Steve’s pants fell down?? 808!” 101, 202, 303, 404, 505, 606, 707, 808, 909 is acceptable.

Get the 909 mug.It fell from her hand or
her ankle itched as she bent to pick
he bent sideways
waiting for her to extend a hand
brush a touch
She read it before half a breath
her heart swayed along him
in spite of the hurt
mind memorising it for eternity
his involuntary micromove
Only if he had known..
how to and what to say
to calm her storm
but heaven said to listen
So she stayed
her ankle itched as she bent to pick
he bent sideways
waiting for her to extend a hand
brush a touch
She read it before half a breath
her heart swayed along him
in spite of the hurt
mind memorising it for eternity
his involuntary micromove
Only if he had known..

to calm her storm
but heaven said to listen

Get the 909 mug.Your tsunamis are incredibly heartfelt. You can feel the love you have her.❤️
I feel like I need to be honest. I have for years thought you are/were my him. The vagueness helps fuel my thoughts.
However, there are those days/ posts that give a little more detail. These little bits of detail reinforce I am not your one. For instance, earrings, telephone number, bed, sofa etc
