ratingist

Prejudice towards, or discrimination against someone on account of their chess rating, especially against low-rated players. The tendency to mock or look down on low-rated players. Can also more rarely be used when someone is discriminated against because of their high rating (for example in rating-limited tournaments). Ratingism is a form of chess snobbery, and it is generally regarded in polite circles as "bad form" for a higher-rated, more experienced player to look down on or engage in derogatory comments or bullying towards beginners and less experienced players.

"I can't believe he just said that to me about being a 1300 and not knowing how the knights move, that was such a ratingist comment!"

"I can't play in that tourney, it's ratingist, it's only for players under 2000"
"That user was so patronising to me just now, I think they are secretly ratingist"

Tour Ratings

A tour rating is the rating out of 10 given to the attractiveness of a woman which isn't comparible to their real life ratings.

This 'tour rating' can expect to raise by up to 6 points in extreme cases as males lower their standards significantly, usually after an extended period of alcohol consumption.

Kevan: Hey James, did one smash that girl last night?

Jamie: Oh for sure... she was hot, like an 8 (out of 10)

Kevan: A tour 8?

Jamie: Of course blad! In the real world she'd be a 3 (out of 10) at best!

Kevan: THATS... why i love 'tour ratings'

Ratings rehab

When slightly depressed due to boredom or general feelings of insignificance, visit numerous websites that allow you to rate tech products/vacation rentals/celebrity outfits. By giving them good ratings you will get a temporary sense of self-worth.

Friend: "Why did you give that hideous outfit 5 stars?
You: "It's my Ratings rehab. What hurt could it really do?"
