Off the Richter Scale

Something that is too extreme to be measured. The Richter Scale is officially used for measuring earthquakes; anything above 7 is described as a major quake. Anything "off the Richter Scale" (or "Off the Richter") is therefore an extreme example.

"Man, that surf was totally off the Richter Scale".

"That wipeout measured 7 on the Richter Scale!"

Self-righteous

Someone who for all the right reasons wants their beliefs to be righteous to help others but for a lack of understanding and compassion is short of love and righteousness.

That self-righteous barstard is just plain wrong ... I think he needs to take a look from a more loving angle ... Then he may be able to help.
