A humorous rating system used to express how attractive someone is without actually giving a number. Instead of saying "she's a 7" or "she's a 10," you respond with a drawn-out "well..." The longer and more dramatic the "well," the higher the rating.

Scale examples:

3/10: "weell"
5/10: "wwwweeeeellllll"
8/10: "wwwwwwweeeeeeeeeellllllllll"
10/10 (Kettle Boil): "wwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllll"

Verb: to well (someone)
