A variant of a scale of one to dead used to judge situations where a minor mistake has occurred that could nevertheless cause the deaths of all involved. Commonly used in space stations, submarines, nuclear power stations and anywhere else that requires a rapid response to minor errors if everyone isn't going to die.
Nuclear Physicist: Fortunately, we managed to contain the situation before it could deteriorate further.
Reporter: Just how bad is it, on a scale of one to OMG we're all gonna die?
Nuclear Physicist: I doubt it's more than a five. Can we finish this conversation in the bunker?

Get the 1-10 female atractiveness scalemug. by MtnDewLover29 February 13, 2021
Get the On a scale of 1-10 what is your favorite color of the alphabet?mug. A common tool used to roughly measure the attractiveness of a woman through 10 general features.
The most commonly judged features, though varying between individuals, are:
Hair, Nose, Teeth, Lips, Neck/Chin, Chest/Breasts, Stomach, Waist, Hips and Rear/Ass.
For each feature on the list, the woman can score a point. If all the features on the list are good on the woman, then she scores 10.

Dude 1: "Dude, did you see that chick I was with last night?"
Dude 2: "Yeah dude, she was totally a 10 *on the 1-10 Female Attractiveness Scale"
*No-one would say that but I need to include the term in the definition

Get the 1-10 Female Attractiveness Scalemug. This is an amended version of the 1-4 scale. This scale removes almost all subjectivity from measuring your attraction to someone. Posts on this site have done their best to set out this scale, but this is the definitive, amended version.
The Basic 1-4 Scale (as already noted by Howie440):
1. I wouldn't and I don't see why anyone would.
2. I wouldn't buy I can see why someone would.
3. I would but I can see why someone wouldn't.
4. I would and I can't see why anyone wouldn't.
A New Addition (the 1-5 scale):
5. I would, I can't see why anyone wouldn't, and I'll be happy if I can just get with them.
Amendments & clarifications:
i) Who can really be considered a 4? - To avoid any subjectivity, keep in mind that: if everyone in the group says they're a 3, they're a 4. This is because if everyone calls them a 3, then everyone would and, therefore they're a 4.
ii) The 5 - More of a theoretical idea than a reality. The 5 is someone whom you would be completely satisfied to get with (make out with) once and never see again. They are so attractive to you that you would happily take the one opportunity and never try to talk to them again.
However - this means that if you do try to talk to, message, or get with them again, they are now by default a 4.
iii) It should also be noted that much like how any 4 must already be an agreed 3, any 5 must already be an agreed 4. This is continuous scale.

Get the The Murph Scalemug. Forgot rating a person 1 to 10, instead try using the “Cove” scale whenever you are describing how you would rate another person to a friend.
The cove scale is a rating from 1 - 4
1 - I wouldn’t date them and I don’t know why anybody else would.
2 - I wouldn’t date them but I can see why other people would.
3 - I would date them but I can see why other people wouldn’t.
4 - I would date them but I can see why other people would.
